This day would have marked the 57th year of marriage for my parents.
A love that will last into eternity.
"To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part."
I am so proud to say my parents meant it when they said those words. They worked hard on the marriage that seemed to come so easy to them.
Even though our dad's body is no longer with us, it seems his strength and his spirit will live forever in our mother and in all of us.
Beautifully Done
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh my...what a testament to love and sacrifice and mostly, the Lord's love and grace.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful, but surely hard day for Grace.
Please pass along our love to her...

A lovely thought. It seems our parents in general work harder at everything than my generation. A commitment was a commitment and your word was your honor.
ReplyDeleteThey were very fortunate to have found one another.

ReplyDeleteWhat a handsome couple they made.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lasting memory and life by example their love gave to all of you.
We should all be so lucky to witness and experience a love like that.
I imagine this is a very hard day for your family and my thoughts are with you.
Hugs,
