My parents are amazing. They met in an Ohio grade school and have been together ever since. My Dad told his parents that he was “going to marry that little red headed girl” back in the sixth grade…..and he did. August 21th 1953.
My parents are amazing. They were in a car crash before the wedding. I remember Dad telling the story one time awhile back, about driving thru a snow storm and hitting a snow plow. The plow driver….or a passing driver…I can’t remember, loaded up Mom and took her to the hospital leaving Dad because they thought he wouldn’t make it. Another driver came along and took him to the hospital. They both made it…obviously.
My parents are amazing. My Dad has been a florist since day 1. My Mom didn’t work while I was in school, that I could remember, but I know she did before me and now works for the 1ST U.M. Church. They always were able to provide for our family.
My parents are amazing. On March 16th, 2005 my Mom suffered a pretty severe brain aneurysm. 2005….it seems like yesterday…….the first prognosis was grim. But with the absolute grace of GOD by morning she had turned a corner and was on her way back….the doctors even used the term MIRACULOUSLY and said that Mom is a miracle child. Prayers were answered on those days spent in the hospital. I saw GODS work first hand and I have been blessed to continue to see HIS work in our lives daily! GOD is amazing.
My parents are amazing. They celebrated their 54th wedding anniversary this year. I don’t know of anyone else in my life that has accomplished that. I hope to be that lucky.
My parents are amazing. Trust me when I say that our family had it’s ups and downs (hence the rabbit ears….ha-ha). But over all I think we did pretty darn good. Most of us still talk on a regular basis. My brother and I are worlds apart, but I still love him. My two sisters (more on them next time) and I still talk or e-mail once a week. And my folks are still here with all of us, still going strong, and amazing me with their ever growing, love and grace. My parents have taught me tons but the one thing that stands out most is Never Let Go……hopes….. dreams…… or Love.
Never Let Go.
With Love and Respect, t.
