A Happy Would be 51!

Well, today would be my parent’s 51st wedding anniversary. Fifty years together is realistic when you get married young (and you put each other before anyone else). He had forgotten about it until I said something, but don’t worry, I wouldn’t have said anything if it would have made him sad. Being married to Diana now, he can look back and it doesn’t hurt like it did. But darn it, I shed a tear. And that’s okay. Both of them are happy now.

Fifty-one years is an incredible milestone, and it’s completely okay to shed a tear when memories like that come up. It sounds like there’s a lot of love behind those tears, but also peace in knowing that they’re both happy now. Some memories never stop touching our hearts.

They will meet up someday and be happy together. I was lucky to have at least 20 blissful years but a day does not go by that I don't remember and miss him and I sure hope he's waiting on the other side,

My BIL's wife has been gone over 4 years but he's just found a lovely lady to share more good times with. It''s lovely to see him enjoying life again. He was a bit miserable and sad for a while - as you'd expect.

Oh, I’m so glad he found someone else. It is so hard to watch your loved one be so stinking sad. No matter what you do you can’t take away their pain.

You know they loved each other...and that they had a very strong marriage. And of course you miss her, I am sure he misses her, too. But as you said, both are happy now. It's crazy how the years fly past.

I am sure you wish they were still together in a physical sense.

I'm so sorry. It's a bit sad but that's life. You could only be happy for them now.

Yes, when you marry young 50 years together does not even seem a "long time". I understand why you shed a tear.

I am happy that he and Diana are so happy. I can understand you feeling as you do, you lost your Mom (twice) you lost the beauty of their love, seeing it every time you were with them. Old marriages are so unique, yet so predictable, comfortable and happy. That is alot for a daughter to lose.
