Today my mother and father would have been married for, hmmm, how many years is it now? This picture was taken at their 50th Wedding Anniversary celebration, and the renewing of their vows…it is a touching picture to me…I sat and looked at it some years later on the dresser when I’d sit next to my Dad’s bed when he was bedridden after suffering several strokes over a period of 5 years. It will be 5 years ago in October since Dad passed away, time passes quickly so it still seems like yesterday. I haven’t called my Mom yet, but I’m sure that the day hasn’t gone by without notice, and perhaps some tears. So this day, June 4th, is a special day, full of memories that are bittersweet now. My parents went through a lot, and their marriage is an example of commitment. Living out the words said at many weddings, “for better or for worse”. I thank them for that. Here is a picture of them on their wedding day:
What gorgeous pictures – and wonderful memories! I’m sure your mom is missing your dad a little extra today, but hopefully good memories are keeping her company. Thanks for sharing!
Awe momma.. I remember the renewing of their vows at Calvary Temple that was so sweet… And what a great picture of that day…. I think I may need to start printing these pictures and scrap booking… they’d be nice to have…
