Grandparents Smoochin' (Tis Grandparents Day)

Last August my parents celebrated their 55th anniversary.  They have lived their wedding vows--good-bad, sickness-health, rich-poor, etc. They have four kids, several grand kids, and a couple of great grand kids. They have endured our disappointments and rejoiced at our accomplishments.

I can't speak for them, but I think love has something to do with their longevity as a couple.  I have witness them draw strength from each other as well as drive each other crazy.  They sacrifice ceaselessly.

They have set the example for me and how I parent special needs kids. The endless issues and battles my husband and I face seem insurmountable.  However, when I see how my parents have survived turmoil and chaos, they inspire me to continue.  Our problems are very different, but the key to surviving and thriving is the same:  love.

Love endures all.

Thanks, Gma and Gpa!!
