Mom and Dad
Today I was thinking about my Mom and Dad. I added a new picture of them to my blog. This was a loving moment in the kitchen of their home at a facility for independent living for older people. These two had a love that was so strong, so caring, so tolerant and understanding, they were an inspiration to me and my siblings. With so many couples having problems, getting divorced and not trying to work out difficult issues, my parents never gave up. Most families experience difficulties and stress for different reasons. When those times came, my parents pulled together as a team to keep the train rolling. I know they are looking down on me from heaven and sending me strength and love to deal with my own issues. I am so lucky and grateful to have had such wonderful parents. To anyone one there who still has living parents, give them a call to find out how they are doing.

What a wonderful picture. My mother died after 39 years of a crummy marriage to my father, so I envy you your parents' happy marriage. I actually didn't realize how long my parents had been married until I added it up just now, and was surprised to learn that Peggy and I have been married almost as long. We finished off our 37th year in December. And you?
Thanks for your comments and am interested in what you have to say. However, I only share personal information when the mood strikes me.
I must admit to being lost. I simply asked how long you had been married. It never occurred to me that I might be transgressing any personal boundaries.
