Yup! That's how long my parents have been married. Can you believe that? I think it is so cool and I brag about them all the time. Not to many people can say that they have been married that long these days.
My parents are the best.
I remember my Dad working hard so Mom could be home with us kids. Sometimes taking on two jobs. I only remember a short time when my Mom HAD to work.
I never heard my Dad raise his voice to my Mom. (Not saying he never did. But I don't remember it so even if he did he couldn't have done it much.)
I can tell my Dad truly loves my Mom and would do anything for her.
My Mom always seemed to be there when I needed her. She instilled in me a need to cook healthier, even if it meant eating ice cream made with honey. Ugh! Though she did get a little crazy when they came out with the microwave. All I remember was rubbery eggs! LOL!
She loves music and can play just about any instrument you put in her hand.
Together they have shown their family and friends what love is all about. It's sticking together through hard times, it's loving each other no matter what comes your way, it's putting God first in your marriage and knowing He is in control.
Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!!
I love you both so much!

ReplyDeleteKim,
ReplyDeleteIn light of so many failing marriages in society today, it is so amazing to see the power of what really holds some of those together and learn the life secrets so many others fail to get to see.
What an amazing tribute to your mom and dad and may they continue to have many many more years of happiness and love together. Please pass along my wishes for a very Happy Anniversary!
Love and Hugs ~ Kat

ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary to your parents!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a good looking couple they are. And how happy they look!
Congrats to your mama and papa!
ReplyDeleteHere are a few witty words that your wise parents may have discovered through ALL their blessed years together:
MARRIAGE is not a word; it is a sentence.
MARRIAGE is when a man and woman become as one; the trouble starts when they try to decide which one.
Before MARRIAGE, a man yearns for the woman he loves. After MARRIAGE, the 'Y' becomes silent.
If you want your spouse to listen and pay strict attention to every word you say, talk in your sleep.
WoW! What a blessing to have parents who have put Christ in the center of their marriage! And what a great looking, joyful couple they make!
ReplyDeleteHave a JESUS-filled day! ^i^
What a beautiful heritage! (and try maple syrup in ice cream, rather than honey. It's YUM!)
