Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad

(click to enlarge)

Your commitment to each other
Is so evident to us
Through all the ups and downs of life
You’ve learned how to trust
We pray that as you celebrate
The love you both share
You’ll sense the love and grace of God
And know He’s always near

My parents were married on April 4, 1953 in Toronto, Ontario. Their family now includes five children, fourteen grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. I am sure they could never have imagined all the twists and turns of events that were to be part of their future together.

Today Mom is recovering from surgery she had two days ago. She is staying at the home of my brother near Torreon, Mexico. Dad is about 12 hours away by car at their home near Tepic, Mexico. They will not be celebrating the day together but I wish them both health and happiness ahead as they continue their life together. We love you both!

Mom has always liked Forsythia flowers. I cut a branch off the shrub in my garden a little while ago and placed it in water in the house where it bloomed in a week. So here is your flower, a month earlier than it will bloom outdoors here.
