Cutting the cake in Grandma Braun’s dining room.
Today would be our parents’ 60th wedding anniversary.
Sixty years seems, in theory, like a very long time. Yet it seems to have sped in the blink of an eye. They only got 52 years together here on earth, but I know they are celebrating together now.
All of us – 1974
Fifty-two years was good but not enough. I wish we were all getting together to celebrate down on the lake. Cake, flowers, cards, none of that matters. It would just be good to all be together again.
Yes it would.

I’m sure they are partying it up today!
It’s seems rare for my entire family to be together, I really should make more of an effort to make it happen more often, because you never know…..
Hugs to you!

Aw, you all made such a sweet picture! I’m sorry your parents aren’t here for you to celebrate this special occasion with, but I hope it’s comforting to you that they’re celebrating together in eternity! Congratulations on their leaving you such a rich legacy!

It would be nice if you could all celebrate the 60th together, but how great that you had the years you did have, and even greater that you had the relationship that makes you wish you’d had more!

Nice thoughts, Dawn. My parents will never reach those milestones, due to divorce. I know they are better off today for it, but sometimes I do still wish things could have been different.

My parents made it to 53 years Dawn. It’s so sad when they are gone but don’t you think it helps to think of their parties in heaven? It does for me.

The photos look so completely in-period for my parents’ wedding and some of our family photos. It’s nice to remember where you came from.
