Today my folks celebrate their 50th year of togetherness in marriage. It makes me mighty proud. To stay married this long in this day and age is something of an anomaly, in this culture of "disposables"; but a wonderful anomaly nevertheless. It is something priceless, and the source of envy for those who have much materially but none in long, blissful relationships.
We love you, Mom and Dad. Thank you for making us, your children, witnesses to your love for each other. It has given us happy childhood memories. It was our refuge. It made us feel safe and secure through all these years, and up to the very last breaths we will take.
