María missing Archie...

Today, seven years ago

In the morning of Christmas' Eve we met with Fr. Brendan for the first time. He talked to us and then asked us to have a private meeting with each of us.

- "Why do you wan to get married?" He said.
- "Because I love her" ... "Because of I love him." We answered.

- "But this marriage might last very little if the cancer progresses quickly, is it worth a wedding?" He asked.
- "Yes," we said without hesitation and with a big smile.

He gave us his blessings and we ran to the County Recorder in San Jose, to get a marriage license. He celebrated our wedding four days later. We were overjoyed.
