Happy 50th Anniversary

Wow, fifty years is a long time.  That's half a century.  And a majority of my mom's life.
She married my dad when she was 15, a true child bride.  He was rescuing her from a life that hardly knew a childhood.
My parents marriage has hardly been a walk in the park.  Yet loyalty & faithfulness.. a commitment matched by God's grace, has lent them the blessing of such a long marriage.

My sibs & I threw them a party -- details that we knew they'd love, with simple requests from them.

I love them... and I love the legacy they've given us.  That Flynn & Gabe will grow up knowing that their parents... and their parents' parents... all loved each other & God enough, to look past life's trials & stay together.
