two years, two months - part four

grace’s birthday is October 15. toward the end of september, my mind was made up that I wanted to marry this woman, and around the beginning of October, I called her mother to ask her permission. She didn’t hesitate to say yes. I must’ve indicated something to the effect of, “well, that was easy.” And her reply was simple and sufficient:

You love God. And you love her.

Oftentimes one of the benefits of being a Christian is short answers.
Grace’s mom simultaneously put me at ease and negated all my marriage proposal financial planning efforts. She had a diamond ring that she wanted me to have.
