these are my parents and today is their 47th wedding anniversary. today is also the day {six years ago} that my father died.
i'm certain the occurrence of these two events not a coincidence. i believe my dad held on until this exact date before passing. i think he chose to leave us on the same day they got married so that we would have something happy to celebrate after he was gone. he was like that: very strong-willed and a total romantic. so today isn't an anniversary of his death, it's an anniversary of their love. because he would've wanted it that way.

How lovely, Lucinda, congratulations. Thank you for letting your Mom's friends discover your blog. Ximena HC
thank you, ximena and welcome!
Beautiful.
What a beautiful couple...I can see both of them in you for sure.
And it's pretty crazy that he passed away on their anniversary. Must make it bittersweet for Mama.
But I'm glad you are able to find a way to remember the day for its most positive meaning :-)
Wow, what a neat and powerful story as well. So awesome that you are able to celebrate the happy along with the grief. My father just passed away less than 2 months ago and I'm trying to figure out how to have both of those feelings at the same time as well. :)
That's so touching and I'm so happy your parents had 47 lucky years together. What a beautiful thing it must have been to witness :)
beautiful
