Dear Friends,
Today is Mom and Dad's 48th Anniversary! We hope you will join us in sending them our well wishes and congratulations!

| 48 years and going strong! |
As it turns out, the forty-eighth anniversary doesn't have any traditional gifts associated with it such as twenty-five's silver or fifty's gold or even ten's tin, but it is associated with a modern gift category of "optical goods." I'm guessing that this is because very few people make it to 48, and if they do, they have some excellent insight (that pun's for Dad) into how to navigate the many changes and challenges, ups and downs of marriage. On the face of it, this past year has certainly been one of the down years for Mom and Dad, but, for us kids, we've also seen the upside: the incredible displays of bravery, sacrifice, stubbornness in the face of doubt and fear, loyalty, gratitude, steadfastness, and love on the part of our parents. While no relationship is perfect, theirs has weathered this awful year with love and inspiration.
Happy Anniversary, Mom and Dad!!
