Sorry, I’m a little late getting to this challenge, this holiday threw us a curve. Mother had a heart attack Wednesday before Thanksgiving, had stents placed, and is already home doing remarkably well. This photo is her and dad taken the first year of their marriage almost 60 years ago. The bottom photo was taken this Spring. I have many things for which I am truly thankful, but regardless of health and quality of life issues, I am most thankful they are still with us.

Your mum was quite stylish! Thanks for the pingback.
Thanks!
Aren’t you lucky!
I think so.
What an absolutely lovely couple! Glad to hear your mom is doing well.

You’re welcome and thank you!
Thankful we are that they are among us, our parents.

It is wonderful to read of people that have been committed to one another for so long,
60 years is a long time.
I’m sorry your mother had a terrible Thanksgiving – so tragic. Let’s hope for a strong and speedy recovery for her.
SHe is already doing much better. Thank you!
You are very lucky to still have both your parents. Hope your mom is recovered now. My mom had the same op a couple of years ago, and seems to be fine.
Thanks, she is much better
Love your blog! Love your photos! At first i thought it was a black and white of you:) You certainly resemble your dad. Hope your mom has a full recovery!
Thank you. There is no doubt I am my father’s son. I think sometime in the near future I will have a post on becoming Dad.
