My parents are both gone a very long time. Nonetheless today would have been their anniversary and when I see the date I can't help but remember them both and be grateful for who they made me. Dates mean more to me today than they once did and aging is something I have learned is not a given for all. Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad......I am thinking about you.
I have a similar mental ritual on my parent's anniversary as well. My dad passed in 1966, and my mother 1975. But, I keep up the practice.

Morning again Sheila.
I'm also sure, they are very proud of how their daughter has lived her life.

Hi Sheila... I actually never knew my parents' anniversary date... and since they were divorced by the time I was six years old, there'd be no reason for me to think about it... it was not a good marriage. I do, however, always remember my mother's birthday and the date of her death.

Sheila Anderson - Anniversary dates never stop, nor do we stop thinking of the people we loved. It hurt me a lot after my husband died. The anniversary cards stopped. I was still here but the cards and caring wishes stopped. I know how you feel.
