This weekend my family came together for a mile stone celebration; the 70th wedding anniversary of my parents. Yes, seven-zero. Their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren all shared in the laughter, tears, love, and cake.
When I’ve mentioned 70th to people over the past few weeks the response has often been a single word. Here are some:
- Amazing!
- WOW
- Inspiring
- Encouraging
- Remarkable
- Impressive
- Enviable
I certainly believe that the strength of the relationship is more important than the length, but when a couple has both, it’s a blessing.

makes me cry happy tears! You are most definately your father’s daughter.
Thanks Gail. It was a lovely time, and yes, emotional at times.
It doesn’t have to be a milestone like 70 years though. I hope people just get together and celebrate being together.
Yes, tears over here too…I love the pic taken of your parents this past weekend…touching. :o)
that weird face at the end of my comment was supposed to be a happy face…apparently, I didn’t use the right key strokes!!
Well, there were some of those faces this weekend too! Thanks for the smiles.
Thanks Angela. I did post this with a box of tissues!
Congratulations to your parents, Suzanne. How special that you could all share in their celebration.
