Saturday, September 15, 2007 Pam, Kellie, and I hosted a 50th wedding anniversary celebration for our parents. They were married 50 years on September 10th. They say that which doesn't kill us makes us stronger, well my parents should be the strongest people on earth considering they haven't killed each other yet. Haha! Really, they have spent a wonderful 50 years together and still love each other very much. It is inspiring to me, they give me hope that I too will be married 50 years, and that my kids could also be so fortunate. They are a good example to all of us.
They were blessed with lots of friends and family in attendance and had the opportunity to spend special time with each of them. It was a great time for us all and a wonderful celebration of thier years together.
Fifty years have come and gone
So much time together
Through lots of bright and sunny days
Through rain and stormy weather
A long long way
They have come
From first a trailor
From first a trailor
And now a home
They raised three girls
Along the way
And did a good job
Some might say
Then came grandkids
A total of eight
As most grandparents do
They think they're GREAT
With lots of friends
Both near and far
Each are special
No matter where they are
Retired now
the years roll by
But still they prosper
Embracing life
And as they look back
At the time they've shared
They leave a legacy
Of love and care
Congratulations on your 50 years together.
Thank you for your guidance and steadfast example of life, love, determination and endurance.
You have been a wonderful example to us all!
We Love you!
