Today our family celebrates my grandparent's 60th wedding anniversary.What a milestone! Sixty years is such a long time to gel your life with someone and make it on the happy side of life.
I say happy side of life because they raised 9 children (7 boys and 2 girls)and I can imagine once all those boys finally were married off and started to haw children of their own, the constant struggles of parenting, financial stress and general busy-ness were over and it was the happy side of life for them!
Don't get me wrong, there are so many happy times on this side in the moments where you get lost in a silly moment, a loving moment, a together moment where you forget about the struggles of raising children, financially tension, the disconnect you can feel when it seems all effort goes into your kids, work, and friends where your spouse can become the last person you think of giving to.
I think the happy side of life is your reward if you've taken those happy moments (in the difficult times)and held onto them and really cherish the reason you first loved each other.
Happy Anniversary Grampy and Grammy! I pray your day is a reminder of the love you first felt over 60 years ago and the love you feel now will only grow deeper as each day passes!
