Today is Mark and my 10th anniversary! We are planning a getaway for this summer on a weekend which will include the motorcycle :)
Today is also the anniversary of a sad day 7 years ago Mark's father passed away. It was very sad in that he had lingered in the hospital on life support for a week. He lived in Montana and at the time Mark worked for the railroad. He traveled so he was in Arkanas at the time. It was very hard for him to be so far away. We did go there for the memorial service, which was very sad but we got to meet so many people that thought the world of Mark's father. Mark's father and stepmother retired in Missoula (a place his family often spent summers ). His stepmom is still alive, and she and Mark are very close now. They share the memories of his dad. Mark and his father had issues when we first got married. Mark's dad thought Mark was just drinking his live away. After we got married I planned a trip to his home over the 4th of July weekend and we visited. This was such a healing time for Mark and his dad. It was so wonderful for his father to see him sober and happy. This would be the last time Mark saw his father. We all need to remember that. We are only on this earth for a sort time. There are no guarentees in this life...we must let our loved ones know that they mean so much to us....life is a beautiful thing to be cherished and appreciated. Take care gang!

Happy Anniversary! I'm sorry about your father in law, But glad that your hubby was able to let his Dad know how he felt before he passed on. I lost my Dad and one brother 12 years ago, 5 monthes apart. I saw my Dad for the last time when I went home for my brothers funeral. Though it was a sad occasion it gave me yet another chance to say I love you, to my Dad. I will be forever grateful for that. Have a wonderful night with hubby celebrating your 10 yrs. of wedded Bliss.
God Bless.
