i wonder if sitting there at the prom they knew where their life would go.
today my parents celebrate 50 years of marriage. in today's world, that is quite a rare thing. i can honestly say my parents are just as happy, and frankly maybe a little happier than ever.
i feel blessed to have seen a marriage that honors both God and one another. i have watched my mom serve and respect my dad at all times. i have watched my dad love and cherish my mom. they taught me what love looked like. yes, i was always disgusted by their kissing and hand holding and ugh...their dancing in the kitchen, but deep inside i loved it - and still do. they have truly lived life side by side as they raised 4 kids, married us all off, hang out with their 10 grandkids, and travel the world.
they shared their first kiss as husband and wife in this same spot 50 years ago. i think they look pretty good today!
thanks mom and dad for being so in love and choosing to love deeply
