Last week a friend lent me a book named The Vow, by Kim and Krickett Carpenter. I had heard of it before,
but hadn’t read it.
Kim and Krickett got to know each other when Kim placed an order for
athletic jackets with the company Krickett was working for. They
spent many hours talking to each other on the phone, and then in person. Just over a year later they married, and
started living happily ever after.
But, two months after the wedding, as they were travelling to
have Thanksgiving with Krickett’s parents, they had a car accident. Kim soon
recovered from his minor injuries, but Krickett had a major head injury, and
lay in a coma for weeks. She had suffered some brain damage, and lost part of
her memory. Among the memories she lost, was her meeting of Kim, their
wedding, and their honeymoon. She didn’t even know who Kim was.
Kim tried his very best to help Krickett out in her
rehabilitation, and try somehow to jog Krickett’s memory of him. She didn’t appreciate
his input, and they often got into arguments.
But through everything, Krickett didn’t lose her faith in God.
People had told her that Kim was her
husband, and she truly wanted to keep the vow she made to Kim, I promise to be faithful to you, to love you
in good times and bad…
Kim still loved Krickett as well, and couldn't imagine
leaving her, as some of his friends had suggested. Through a process of time, and some counselling,
Kim and Krickett Carpenter fell in love once more, and had another wedding ceremony.
They went on to have two children, and share their story with people all over
the world.
This book is a true story, and worth reading. :)

When you comment:
1. My day will be brighter, my face smiling, and my heart blessed.
2. I’m likely to immediately go and explore your blog (if you have one) to find out more of your amazingness, and return the blessing.
3. I will then attempt to craft a response to you that will somehow fail to convey how much I truly appreciate your thoughtfulness and kindness. I’m grateful for every word of encouragement you give, and don’t be afraid to share some constructive criticism also; there’s always more to learn. In short: thank-you! :)
