For many people, 65 is a very important number. It's the age that we become eligible for Medicare, and historically, many individuals face retirement. However for some, the number 65 represents something far more significant, and in the case of my parents, it reflects the number of years since they committed themselves to a lifetime together.
After meeting in Boston during WWII, the two were married on September 7th, 1946, and what has transpired since has been legendary. They have 8 children, 19 grandchildren, 1 great grandchild, over 40 nieces and nephews, and countless friends who have all been touched by their boundless love and generosity.
To my parents on this momentous anniversary, congratulations on achieving such a milestone. Your family and friends have been richly blessed by the love you share for each other. May God watch over you and keep you well. We love you!

And the very best gift of all to your parents is that you gave up many wonderful things in your life, only to return back home to take care of them! That's what's called sacrifice!
ReplyDeleteYou are truly one of a kind. Don't know of many men that would do that kind of thing! Actually I believe you are the only one!
