Today is my parent’s 52nd anniversary. I’m so very glad that all the kids threw them a big party for their 50th. Even though my dad was ill at the time, seeing people that they hadn’t seen in some cases since their wedding was a wonderful thing. Oddly enough, of 2 of the 3 groomsmen (or was it 3 out of 4?) that made it to the 50th celebration had died within a month or two after the party. So it was a sweet, last reunion. And my dad passed away almost a year ago.
So, today I celebrate their anniversary and our family that got its start on this day over half a century ago.

so powerful a picture – they were a beautiful couple Sheila
