Today would have been my parent's 47th anniversary. Despite all their highs and lows anniversaries were a big deal. They would always take off for the weekend. I remember being left home alone with my younger sister for a weekend on their anniversary from about 14. My dad was generous with my mom's gift. Sometimes I wonder how they made it 45 years (and two weeks). They were so different. I felt my Dad around today and I know my mom did as well. October and early November is tough on my mom but she managed to stay busy today thanks to her daughters and a good friend. Tomorrow is a new day. I am blessed to have parents who taught me that you don't have to agree on everything as long as you are loyal. Dinner table conversations were often lively.
Luke and Andrew gave my mom flowers which she felt needed to go on my Dad's grave. May have picked different ones if I knew that was going to be the case.
My sister did not have her baby today like my mom was hoping.
Today was quite the emotional ride but I am greatful for yet another day.
