Once upon a time a boy and a girl met and fell in love. Well, you may not think that this is an exciting happening or even an unusual happening but this is the story of two people who fell in love and it was a beautiful thing.
There was an Aggie who was finishing up school and was teaching drivers ed at the local high school. One day, this blond haired, blue-eyed girl walked into his classroom and he knew at that moment that she would be his wife. If you were to ask him today what she was wearing, he can still tell you. This love story started slowly as the young girl was not allowed to date the handsome Aggie because, well, he was in college and older than her; luckily for him, persistence paid off. They became engaged during her junior year of high school and were married June 13th, 1969.
They began their life as husband and wife, he was a teacher and she a homemaker. As they grew more in love, they added to their family, three girls.
This family of five loved each other very much. The girls knew that their parent’s relationship was special because you could just tell from being with them how much they loved and respected each other. They loved each other and they loved their girls. As the family grew older, the parents love for each other continued to grow and eventually they added two sons-in-law, a grandson and granddaughter.
On June 13, 2009, the handsome man and beautiful woman celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary. Their daughters hosted a party for them at the same location the beautiful woman’s parents had celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. This location was where the beautiful woman had grown up. The couple celebrated with family and friends (old and new) and a wonderful time was had by all.
This year, the celebration of their 41st anniversary will be very different. You see, the handsome man’s beautiful wife left her earthly home leaving the handsome man and his girls to keep her memory alive everyday and to honor her in everything thing they do.
Happy Anniversary to the handsome man and the beautiful woman. You gave us a wonderful example of how to be a married couple that loved each other very much. And this amazing love story was all because two people fell in love.

Tammy,
As I read your blog, I understand more about the intense pain your family is feeling. Having not been through this myself, I cannot imagine the difficulty of each new "first". I see your sadness each time I'm around you and wish there wa something I could do to make things better. I thank God for His wisdom to put us into families where love for each other and for God is taught so that we might pass that on to others. Because we know that all things work together for good to those who love God and who are called according to His purpose, I am confident that someday you will be able to enrich and bless the lives of others because of what you have experienced and come through yourself. That will be the best legacy your mother left--daughters that carry on in the way she taught them. Please feel free to share this with your sisters. My love and prayers to you all.
