50+1

Saturday we had a 50+1 anniversary party for my grandparents (we never got around to it last year.)

I am so grateful to have such a wonderful example of love in my life.

Actually, I am lucky enough to have my parents as an example as well.

I love my family so much, and I can't wait to have a family of my own someday.

My Papa wrote the sweetest poem for the occasion,

and I just can't help but share it:

"We met at Sanford High School

In 1956

It wasn't long before we knew

That we'd become a mix

We went to proms and dances

Though we lived in different states

Then the Navy took us further apart

But soon things would be great

For on the 4th of June in '60

Our wedding vows were shared

Two hearts were bound together

Just because we cared

There's only few so lucky

To have the things we do

Companionship and friendship

And love that is so true

And from that love came children

Three girls and then a boy

They are our prized possessions

And bring to us great joy

Today we came to celebrate

That fifty years plus one

Of wedding bliss and happiness

With our daughters and our son

And with you all that came here

To share this special day

Thank you and God Bless You

For the friendship you display"
