Fifty Years!




On April 4th, my parents celebrated fifty years of marriage. Yes, 50! That is no small accomplishment. I love them both so much and am so lucky to have had their example in my life. Their marriage has been through all the ups and downs that come with many years and five children to raise. I am proud of their ability to stand by each other through thick and thin, especially this year, with my Dad's illness. They have stood the test of time and they are both amazing people.

Despite my many ups and downs with you both Mom and Dad, you know that I love you. You are great parents and wonderful, wonderful grandparents. The love that our children have for their Nana and Grandpa says it all. Here's to the next five centuries! We truly wish we could be together for this celebration - maybe later this year?

This is beautiful...my parents have been married for 36 years and I too have watched them as such powerful role models to the testament of marriage. Happy Mother's Day!
