My Parent's 63rd Wedding Anniversary

Today would have been my parent's 63rd wedding anniversary.  Not many people make it to 50 years, much less 63.  They almost did....

My mother grew up in a house where expressing emotion was frowned upon.  So, as she and my father fell in love, she could not express that when they talked on the telephone.  My father, on the other hand, grew up in a house where expressing emotion was not only ok, it was expected.  So, when my Dad talked with Mom on the phone he would say: "I love you."  And Mom would say: "Me too."

Engraved in their wedding bands was: "Me too."

Mom and Dad...me too!

Murphy's Day.
