31 years ago

31 years ago our 3rd daughter was married, she was 17 and her husband to be was almost 19, in fact he had his birthday 3 days after their wedding.  31 years ago I would not have given them a plugged nickle of surviving, they came from very different backgrounds and her husband had not yet learned how to control his anger and would come to the house and go and sit in a corner sulking so I thought at that time. Now here it is 31 years later and I need salt and pepper to flavor my thoughts of that time and I have to eat my words.  31 years have fled by and they are still partners in every sense and they have and are raising 10 beautiful children. I truly adore and respect our son in law, they have been through it all and they are still best friends, lovers, husband and wife, soulmates. They can confide in each other and rely on each other to be there for what ever the situation may call for. I am extremely proud of the family they are.  Happy Anniversary to my daughter and her husband, I am very proud of you both.
