Happy Anniversary |
This morning, as I sit here in the chair where I write most of my blogs, I am looking at a dozen long-stemmed yellow roses and the card that I gave to my bride to celebrate our anniversary.
It is a BIG one--one of the ones that end in a "5" or a "0" which always have special significance.
We should be on a cruise somewhere exotic to celebrate the four-and-a-half decades of married life that has seen us live in nine states and overseas in Germany. But, as we are all too painfully aware, the coronavirus is running unchecked through the U.S. and none of the cruise lines are operating. So we will hold the trip in abeyance until a more appropriate time.
On this day, and it doesn't really seem so long ago, two kids got together in a church with family and friends and started a marriage that grew into a family.
During these past decades, we have learned that the Richard Bach statement about family is true. And we cherish and welcome each family member regardless of their parentage.
And, as they say, it is all because a girl met a boy!
