Happy 62nd Anniversary

My parents 62nd anniversary is today. Last year they were part of this article here. As one of seven, each of my siblings marvel at how loving and giving they are. Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad. May you have a wonderful day today. The illustration was done by Christine Borders, one of my Mom's friends who has been married 75 years. I have some tough acts to follow, right?

Please leave a comment and I will make sure to give them to my "folks"- they will value each of your lovely words. I had at first said it was the 63rd anniversary, it is only the 62nd - but one more year for good "luck!" Thanks again for your comments!

    Happy Anniversary Mom and Pop PvE!! What a shining example you set for so many people. I love that you noted “stick-to-it-tiveness” as a key ingredient for a successful marriage along with kindness, patience and love. Wise words. Wishing you many more wonderful years together! xo Lisa

    I agree, you've been "lucky," but I also believe you MAKE your own luck. You've worked at it and have a wonderful relationship as a result. Best wishes for many more anniversaries!

    I was never good at math, and I stated "63" years, actually it is "62" but I guess after all those years what is one more year!
    off to adjust~ to 62!
    Thanks for each of your comments - Mom (Jean) and Dad (Paul) will be thrilled!

    Jean and Paul, yesterday my sister, Cindi, said her best friend is her husband. I can think of no other better compliment. You two look like best friends.
    What a wonderful portrait of you two. Anniversary Blessings to the lovely couple!
