in the almost 20 years of living that i have done, i have seen my parents go through just about everything.
i have seen how they have reacted to difficult situations.
i have seen them lift each other up in times of disappointment.
i have seen them work together to figure out how to raise four children and, on top of that, support four children.
and i have been impressed.
i am blessed to be able to say that tomorrow my parents celebrate 29 years as man and wife.
i am blessed to be able to say that i can see why they have been together for 29 years.
and i am blessed to be able to say that these are the two people God brought together in order for me to be in the family i am in.
twenty nine years.
