Well, yesterday to be exact………..Mum and Dad were married.  August 13, 1938.  Growing up, I always knew when their anniversary was.  I haven’t remembered their special day  for a while now.  Yesterday, I just kept thinking about them and finally I realized why.  Nice.

Mum was born in 1919, and next month she would be 99!!  Dad was born in 2016, so he would be 102.  Math was never my strong suit, but they were 18 (almost 19) and 22 when they were betrothed.

If they were still alive, I know I would feel incredibly young again, because I wouldn’t be a member of the top generation of my clan here on earth.  Alas, you can’t always get what you want. 🙂

I don’t know what heaven is like, but I am sure they danced there.  I sure felt their spirits all around me yesterday. Still do today. It is sweet…..so sweet.

A couple of people madly in love every step of the way. They didn’t have it easy, they didn’t have a lot of money, and yet they were so blessed.  They loved each other in a “wicked decent” sort of way.  They would have liked this song.

Happy Anniversary Mum and Dad.
