this evening we celebrated my great- grandparents' 60th wedding anniversary... can you believe that, 60 years! my mom was trying to explain to me what this all meant but i got a little confused. i do remember something about how i wouldn't be here without them. you see, the marriage of my great grandparents and the life that they have built with one another has allowed jax, mommy, and i to be here. great- grandma and grandpa are the ones who started our family when they had my grandpa! now i know they are a lot of other special people who have put us here as well, but none of them have been married for 60 years. mommy said that there's just something special about these 2. think about how much their lives have changed and grown since that day they said "i do." i wonder if they ever imagined having 4 children, 10 grandchildren, and 9 great-grandchildren? when you're 18 and getting married do you think that far ahead? i hope that one day i'm sitting next to the boy i married; surrounded by our children, grandchildren, and great-children celebrating our 60th anniversary. congratulations don and exine harness... we love you.
