I would like to start by wishing my WONDERFUL parents a Happy Anniversary. I believe it is 46 years! Wow! In todays standards this milestone is almost unheard of. I am so blessed to have the parents I do. Are they perfect...no. But they are perfect for me. They have taught me many things in life but the most important thing that I learned from them is ...family comes first. If I can be half of the mother my mom is, I will have achieved greatness. No matter what I have been through...and trust me, it's been a lot...my parents have stood by me through thick and thin.
Speaking of standing...they also stood united when raising us kids. Even when they didn't agree...they stood in unison. As a child I did not appreciate this solidarity, but as a parent I understand and praise them for doing so.
They have also taught me to take time for my husband. As parents, we get wrapped up in homework, sporting events, appointments, etc. but it is so important to take time for our spouses also. Yes, our kids come first but I now see how important it is to stay connected with my husband.
It's easy to lose each other in the rat race of life. My father once said it's important to take time for just you and your spouse because when the kids grow up and leave home, it's important to know the person who will be left behind with you. As my boys get older, I begin to see more clearly what he is talking about. Thanks dad.
Happy Anniversary Mom & Dad. May you have many, many more wonderful years together.
