Bond of Love

Last year, my parents celebrated their 4oth wedding anniversary. We held an open house for Mom & Dad, at their place and had a good time visiting with family and friends. I feel fortunate to have parents that have stayed together through 40 years of life, for I know how hard that can be to accomplish. My parents have shared many experiences, both good and bad. I really respect the fact, that they are still together after all this time. They are a wonderful example of what love should be.

I just had to use one of Mom & Dad's wedding pictures, as I love the comparison. They look so young. One of the symbols for 40 years is the gemstone, ruby, so I decided to do a red page and use one of the kits I had stashed in my files for a while. I wrote the speech, on the page for the celebration we held and wanted to include it also. It reads as follows:

An anniversary is a time to reminisce about events in a couple's life. A time to acknowledge that the strongest of bonds is the love between husband and wife.
Each Anniversary is special and very dear, for the bond grows ever stronger throughout the years.
May this day be a very special celebration of your love, as you look back on all the special memories you have created during your 40 years together. Congratulations!
