Surprise

Last year we got together to celebrate Father’s Day at a local restaurant. This year we decided to do the same thing, and this time everyone was there. Tim, Kim, Mike, Rosanne, Pat, Ali, Augie, Helen, Rosemary, Greg, Mark and Nicholas. Before we started eating Tim got up to say that this was the second annual celebration of Father’s Day, but it really was a night to celebrate the 40th wedding anniversary of his parents…. us! Can’t remember exactly what he said, because I was so surprised and overwhelmed. All I could say was thank you.

After we ate, I was able to compose myself so I stood up to tell everyone thank you, and how lucky we are to have been welcomed into such a wonderful family. They’ve included us in all of their get togethers, and celebrations, and always make us feel so loved.

Kim even had flowers on the table that were picked fresh from her yard. They were beautiful.

After thanking them, I told them the story of how our wedding day and honeymoon was a disaster… and everything that could go wrong – did go wrong. But, here we are, 40 years later, still going strong. And they said it wouldn’t last!
