June 21, 2019 - 61st Wedding Anniversary

When first we met so long ago who knew our love would stay aglow through a full sixty-one plus years. With every smile- and sometimes, tears- still holding hands as in those days when youth wrapped us in lovers' rays. So blessed are we- though weathered now- to still embrace our wedding vow.
