1st Anniversary

My Mom and Dad were married 67 years ago August 10, 1947.  While going through Mom's things yesterday, I found a letter my Dad had written to her on their first anniversary. He was finishing bookkeeping school in Birmingham and she was at home in Chandler Springs. I had read this letter many times throughout my life, but it was especially sweet to read yesterday. I am thankful to have had the wonderful example of a loving couple, who made it through the hard times together and always looked to God for their strength. Their lives are a great legacy which I will always treasure.
