I have this memory, which is probably a series of memories, from when I was little. Mom and Dad had gotten a baby sitter and were going out. Mom was wearing a dress that I loved, that was pale, pale blue with little white embroidered stars scattered across it. She had a fluffy white petticoat and shiny white shoes. She and Dad were going square-dancing.
It’s mumble-something years later and they are still adorably in love.
Dad just walked through the room with a box of white Godiva chocolate (Mom’s favorite) for her. They can’t go out for the anniversary this year, but I hope that next year, they’ll be dancing again.
Mary – a very sweet remembrance. May your parents have a Very Happy Anniversary, and many more to come!
Happy Anniversary to your parents. Thank you for sharing this 🙂
51yrs! Whew. Don’t we all wish we could find something that enduring. Congrats to your parents for making it work. All the things they have seen come n go, just in the stages of their relationship, wow. Those first rough years, the kids coming around, the school years, the empty nest… and on and on. The photo albums must be quite the sight *chuckles*
May they dance the night away next year and many years after ^^
Happy anniversary to them! They’re 1 year ahead of my parents. 🙂
