A vision of Thanks... to my wonderful parents

For those of you who read my posts here you know family is most important to me.

I'm super grateful for my parents who are inching ever so close to the golden wedding anniversary.

I've had troubling and difficult times in my life, but I always had my mom and dad to turn to when I needed them.

I'm thankful for their love for me and their love for one another. I have been blessed with a wonderful family.

My parents were hard on me when I needed it, and tender with me when that was what was called for at the time.

I hope I get to have them for decades to come. I am happy for the lessons they taught me and the love they have shown to me.

They have been wonderful grandparents to my daughter and love her more than life itself. I wouldn't be where I am in life without my Mama and my Daddy. Thanks and I love you both.

Hi Tammy-Awesome family photos. A beautiful couple indeed. WOW! 50 years. They must have married very young. Thanks for sharing your family with all of us. <SMILE>

They have been married 45 years now. And yes, they were both pretty young at the time. In fact my mom was a teenager at 19 and half.

Tammy, that is great that your parents are nearing 50 years together! Great photos of them!

You are so lucky. . .I bet over 50% of the population either come from broken families and/or parents have passed away. . you are still enjoying them, you are blessed.

These are the people who inspire younger generations. What a great photo. Thanks for sharing Tammy

Tammy,

Loved the photos and a peak into your wonderful family. You are SO fortunate to have your parents still with you. Our best to you and your parents!

Dick and Dixie Sells

Tammy - thanks for sharing this with us, you are blessed and fortunate to have such wonderful parents still with you.

Tony and Darcy- I remember at Christmas of 2007 getting a gift from my dad for my mom from under the tree as we were opening gifts... my dad wrote on the tag : "To my wife, the love of my life" I am so blessed to have the parents I have.

Fernando- My dad comes from a family of 5 and my mom 6 and all the rest of their brothers and sisters are remarried or divorced, my parents are the only ones still married to their first spouse. I truly feel blessed.

Janice- Being that I am divorced and raised my daughter alone for many years before I married my Donald I hope that my daughter will know it is possible.

Dick and Dixie- Thanks... my husband and I are having dinner with them on Sunday to celebrate our anniversaries.

Mike- I think I was blessed that God placed me in their care and I certainly feel blessed that I still have them.

Hi Tammy, I love the photos you chose for this post! and that you thank your parents and love them! My parents were married for 60 years, that takes a lot of love, understanding and forgiveness - your folks raised you with love and stayed together with love. Congratulations to your parents on their anniversary!

My mom runs from cameras (and she's fast) I have photos of pillows being thrown at me and her hand in front of the lense and lots of photos of her back as she was exiting the viewfinder, the irony is the square dance photo I didn't take, but it was emailed to me by her friend. There are tons of old ones I had to choose from, but not so many recent ones

... you know I love these posts :o)

Tammy - With this post we all know how much you love you parents and this is very important. The photo of them kissing when they were younger, they must of had you on their minds!

LOVE AT ACTIVERAIN

Thanks for sharing the Love!

Sheldon- from someone who just loves to see new pictures of Spencer and Preston I completely understand. Because I LOVE those posts.

Bob- very well could have been me on their minds.... I'm not sure of the date of that photo, but it was when they lived in NJ, which they did for a year before I was born and about a year and half after I was born. And thanks for the feature.

Tammy,
Those of us who came from loving families are very fortunate, our parents understood how to discipline with love.

CONGRATULATIONS to your mom and dad for their 50th wedding anniversary, it says a lot about them as people as far as I'm concerned!

I agree that people who stay married that long know that marriage takes work. And my parents have never been afraid of a little hard work.

Hi Tammy ~ This is a terrific tribute to your parents! I know how close you are to them and how much they mean to you. I love to hear about good old fashioned love stories so thank you very much for sharing a piece of their history. The pictures are terrific as well.

Have a wonderful holiday weekend.

Thanks Terrie- my folks are terrific. My mom's mom is in the hospital and my dad who hates hospitals REAL bad has been there every day.
