Last August my parents celebrated their 55th anniversary. They have lived their wedding vows–good-bad, sickness-health, rich-poor, etc. They have four kids, several grand kids, and a couple of great grand kids. They have endured our disappointments and rejoiced at our accomplishments.
I can’t speak for them, but I think love has something to do with their longevity as a couple. I have witness them draw strength from each other as well as drive each other crazy. They sacrifice ceaselessly.
They have set the example for me and how I parent special needs kids. The endless issues and battles my husband and I face seem insurmountable. However, when I see how my parents have survived turmoil and chaos, they inspire me to continue. Our problems are very different, but the key to surviving and thriving is the same: love.
Love endures all.
Thanks, Gma and Gpa!!
