Today is my parents’ 50th wedding
anniversary. In honor, I dug up some
pictures from 2011, when they so graciously volunteered to help us move over
here for the first time. On that trip, they
endured twenty hours of travel with three tired, jetlagged toddlers, and then
ten days of mostly cold February rain, including a couple of freezing nights when the
heat in their apartment went out…the apartment that we found and reserved for
them.
Yet, in that small, trying microcosm of their nearly fifty
years of parenting (sorry, Cheryl), I like to think they took away at least a
few good memories. I know that I sure
did, not the least of which was staying up with Dad until 4am watching the
Packers win Super Bowl XLV. It doesn’t
get much better than that.
Our hearts are in Madison today at the big VandenBurgt-Ebben
celebration. Mom, Dad, have a beautiful
day. You deserve it.
Na Zdravje!
