Milestone Miracle
As best we can recall, it’s a first. This weekend we will celebrate a 50th wedding anniversary in our family. My grandparents all passed by the time I was in grade school. I don’t remember my parents ever celebrating an anniversary, and Dad died when mom was just 59. Some divorced. My sister Diane came the closest but lost the love of her life after 46 years. Both divorce and widowhood meant I’d not make the mark. But now, we celebrate a miraculous milestone. A short hospital stay gave my shy brother Dave a chance ask his nurse Jan out on a date.
