56 Years and Counting

On April 14th, 1955 in Gloversville, NY, my parents embarked on a very special journey together.  I suspect that neither of them on their wedding day would have predicted that 56 years later their journey would find them retired and living in Pensacola, Fl with their children and grandchildren nearby.  I also suspect they were not thinking about their parents moving in with them, taking their future children to the emergency room,  waiting for their future grandchildren to come out major surgery, dealing with the sudden loss of a job, moving every few years, a flooded house, or a myriad of life's potential challenges.  I suspect that they were just thinking about being married and starting their life together.

Happy 56th Anniversary!

On the subject of marriage Tammy and I were talking tonight and came to the realization that this year;

-her grandparents will celebrate 69 years of marriage

-my parents will celebrate 56 years of marriage

-her parents will celebrate 50 years of marriage

-and we will celebrate 25 years of marriage

-and that totals up to 200 years of marriage!

Grace & Peace
