Happy Anniversary

Happy Anniversary in Heaven, Mom & Dad. Seventy years ago today, my parents, John and Elizabeth, were married in St. Brigid’s Church. What love and faith and courage it must have taken to make a joyful commitment to the future, with the dark clouds of world war hovering all around. Yet they took the step and began a family, trusting that “all will be well”. Thanks to them - and their faith, so many lives exist today, including my own, my children, and my grandchildren. I am grateful for my Mom and Dad. And for this day.

I didn't know theirs was right after yours.

I think there always tends to be dark clouds of war hovering. I think it's more of a reason for loving couples to make their commitments. I've seen too many people wait until the time is right to get married, have kids, etc. I always thought, "When is this magical right time? Does it really exist?" Life is an endless, ever-changing ebb and flow! If you want to do something, do it! The time is now!

Love, T.
