I've been thinking a lot of my parents today. It is their wedding anniversary today. They were married in 1953 and were together for 52 years. Recently a friend noted a similar remembrance for her parents. Guess that got me thinking of mine. They met in high school and married a few years after graduating.
All those special event dates come by every year, yet some may seem more poignant. This is the first anniversary without my mom. Not that we celebrated it, but I always thought of her on this day for the decade when she was on her own. This year, it is me that is on my own. Perhaps this day has been special for me for as long as I can recall because it celebrates the day they were married and the nascence of our family.
The song for today is one that I recall hearing as a child. It seems to fit the day for me and is sung by one of dad's favourite singers. Enjoy!
Anniversary Waltz -- Vera Lynn
