FROM ONE CASTLE IN THE SAND
They were walking on the beach one morning…together hand-in-hand…when, overwhelmed by a memory, he stopped in front of a castle in the sand.
“Do you remember,” he whispered, “when we built our first castle in the sand?”
She nodded…laid her head upon his shoulder…and gently squeezed his hand.
And soon her memory joined with his…two children a chance encounter…unexpected…totally unplanned…who met upon a beach and together built a castle in the sand.
Back then they didn’t think about it…they were too young to understand how much their life would be constructed around that castle in the sand.
Knowing their parents vacationed on that beach the two children hatched a plan…to meet up every summer and build a castle in the sand.
After many summers building castles the two of them began taking long walks in the moonlight…together hand-in-hand
And then, one summer’s evening he got down on one knee in the sand to ask, “Will you marry me and help me build our castle on the land?”
And so they married…built their castle complete with family…so grand…all from the humble beginning of one castle in the sand.
Which is why…just like the day they met…another moment unexpected……totally unplanned…they got down on their hands and knees together…and built a castle in the sand.
