43 Years ago, today, my mom and dad sat down to celebrate their 5th wedding anniversary together with a 16 day old baby.
My mom posted the following to her Facebook wall earlier today:
"48 years ago today I said "I do" for a journey I knew little about. Have no idea what would have occurred if I had taken a different path. Never regretted my decision for any length of time (once in a while if I was really, really mad I may have said I did). But that time of my life was not long enough and if I had the choice to do it over again I would."
This is the 6th anniversary that mom has had to celebrate since dad passed away in May 2008. In as much as I deeply miss him, I can't fully realize how much mom misses him even so much more. I miss my Daddy. She misses her husband, her best friend, and life partner.
