It would have been fifty!

Today would have been my mom and dad’s 50th wedding anniversary (they married very young). She died a few months before their 40th anniversary. Thirty-one of those years were good, with nine a total nightmare due to her dementia. So I am very grateful they got married young. That way my dad got more years with her. She’s definitely not in pain, and if she knew my dad was married again, and who to, she’d be grateful for that. I don’t think my dad remembered what today is, and that’s okay if he forgot. He has never been good with dates, and he is insanely busy. He’s also a little ticked at me right now. Kind of like, that girl will never listen! Is today anything special to you?

No, nothing special about today for us. Your poor dad, having to put up with you.

I know, I’m so mean! (He’s a tiny bit ticked I didn’t go to the hospital yesterday.)

@AmbiePam I can easily see that. But, it's your choice to go or not.

What a very special memory of a day that their love story began. He'll get over being ticked at you, that is what Dads are famous for.
