There was cake...
And there was more love than twenty-five years could possibly hold.
I felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude... not only for my parents, but for the people who came to celebrate them. I am so thankful that so many think they are a unique and wonderful couple... because they truly are. Each of them really... unique and wonderful... and then together... so much more. The best part of the evening? No... not the cake. And not dancing the Chicken Dance with my Mom & Sister (although that was fun!) The very best part of the evening was watching my parents dance the night away... with expertise, with laughter, and with love that lit up their faces and spilled all over the room.
Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength; loving someone deeply gives you courage.

How wonderful, especially that you appreciate them and your time with them:)
this is so wonderful...so glad you were able to celebrate as a family!
love the cake, Mom's shoes and the HUG!!!
Congrats again to them both.
Oh yea! good reason to celebrate. The cake looks good, but I need an explanation of what it is.... or am I just out of it?
That is so great. They look so happy together. :) Thank you for stopping by!
Dawn, I'm with Jen. What is that cake supposed to be?? Oh btw, loved the post. My Aunt Dot & I had a surprise dinner party at her house for my Mom & Daddy's 50th Ann. I was SO glad we did that too, because Daddy died the following April (14yrs ago). Memories of the good times are so fine to hold on to!
