In the first, one expects an angel for a wife; in the last, he knows that she is like himself-perfect with imperfections. In our life we learn the mingled lessons of life: dolls are stuffed with sawdust, and yet are excellent playthings; that hope and love address themselves to a perfection never realized, and yet, firmly held, become the salt and staff of life.
It is true that rain soaked our emotions but there were glimpses of sunshine to encourage and console. Those are all the moments that makes tears glow in the sunshine of hope and faith.
