Today my parents have been married 42 years!  I am so thankful for them and for their years of commitment to each other.  They have had some ups and downs along the way (Dad says more ups than downs), but through it all they have loved each other.  What a wonderful example for my siblings and me.  Brian, Sheila, and I have strong marriages today largely due to mom and dad’s influence and for that, I’m so grateful.  We love you, Mom and Dad!
