50 years

Friday night we celebrated the day, 50 years ago, when my parents walked down the aisle into a new life together. That life saw a lot of happiness and ended just shy of 30 years together before my father passed away. But their legacy lives on. We gathered to remember, to celebrate, to laugh and catch up with old friends. It was a wonderful evening! Thank you to all those who were able to make it!

    I love that your parents love is until "death parts us" -- for both of them. I can tell how much your mother still loves your dad so very much. And I love the friendships she has maintained through the years. How precious for her.

    AND -- I have always thought Ella looked like Sheryl... until I saw the honeymoon pics! :-) I see a little Judy now.
