Happy 50th Anniversary

Today, my parents mark a giant milestone: they celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. It is hard to believe that they have made it all these years. Heck, it is hard to believe with all the health issues that they've both lived this long. I am very grateful to them and all the opportunities they gave me through life. They may bicker and fuss, but deep down, they really love each other. I could see it on my dad's face when my mom had her radical mastectomy back in '89. He seemed so lost. She was the same way when he had his angioplasty in '93. But, they're still mean, still kicking and still loving.

Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad! Hopefully, the reception Saturday will be fabulous. It won't be for lack of love or lack of trying, if it isn't.
