Happy Saturday to you!
And Happy 45th Anniversary to my parents 🙂 They are such an example of what a godly and loving marriage should look like, and I’m so very blessed to be their daughter. We’ve had a rough grief-filled week due to the passing of my mom’s brother from alcoholism, and I saw again how my parents love and support each other so well through joy and through sorrow.

Congratulations to your parents! And what a sweet wedding picture. 🙂
I’m sorry to hear about your uncle. I lost two uncles and a brother to alcoholism. It’s really a tragedy.
It’s heartbreaking, isn’t it? I’m so sorry that it has taken so many loved ones from you :-/
So sorry about your uncle. Addiction is a vicious problem that damages the addict and hurts so many around them. Not many families are untouched by this desperate issue.
I love that you have great parents who support each other and you. What a blessing.
Hugs
You are so right – on all counts 🙂
I am so sorry to hear of your uncle’s death. My mother died Feb. 20 and today my the home that my parents shared for 41 years and that my mother lived in for 11 more years was put up for auction. Household belongings that had been in this family unit for over 66 years were also sold. I experienced the feelings of grief and loss all over again but my husband was right there with me so yes, a long marriage is a sharing of both joys and sorrows!
My prayers to you and your Mom.
Congratulations to your parents! I know they must be incredible because just look at you!
My husband and I have been married for almost 35 years – we were very young when we married ? It is such a blessing to have a wonderful spouse who supports at all times.
Thanks Carrie- love this post. Praying for you and your family.
Thank you so much, Kim!!! And I didn’t even bribe you with chocolate to say those lovely things 😉
So sorry for your families loss. Praying for you. Congratulations to your parents on their anniversary.
Thank you, Donna 🙂
So sorry for your loss, Carrie.
