I am so happy for Hallie. Thank you for sharing your story of her wedding.

You are a star Hal but Hallie is the star of her wedding.

Beautiful! Congratulations. It was lovely to read all about this celebration that was remarkable despite and perhaps because of the adaptations you had to make.

Thanks so much for reading, Faith. I’m glad you found my little corner of the internet. H

Yes. I'm glad to have found it. Your note popped into my feed and I'm enjoying reading. My son is autistic and can't leave the house so I'm adjusting to a different set of life limitations.

oh, Hal, listening to you speak this story is just so moving. you are a master storyteller. love the word "effervescence" for Hallie - her face captured in your words and in these pictures is just that - effervescent with love and joy!

Hal Walker's avatar

Thank you, KK. Credit goes to my sister Johanna for that word. She chose it for her remarks in the wedding and I knew it was perfect. :) H

Almost exactly a year ago, I travelled to Tanzania to be part of my daughter Molly’s wedding. That little blonde thing-like your little blonde thing-now has a husband. Whether it’s singing with her at 5 (you), or walking the SI labyrinth with her at 5 (me), it’s a funnywonderful concept to get used to. What a life, huh? Lucky us. ♥️
