Sixty years ago today my Daddy and Mom got married at LeMars, Iowa. June Faber and Gerard Braaksma were their witnesses. They had dinner at Dad and Mom Faber's afterwards. They then went on a trip to Colorado Springs, Colorado. They visited Mom's brother Wendell while there...he was in the army at the time.
When we cleaned out the folk's house I came across Mom's wedding dress and the vest of Dad's suit and his hat.

Last year we were able to have cake with them in the nursing home...and now Daddy is gone...we miss him and know Mom does too.

Oops I forgot, today, remembered off and on but today forgot, Wanted to take mom to the cementary today but that thought was back when it was nice out....won't be going very far for a while.
Great memories. But always good to know because of the choices they made in the past we have a present and future to look forward to.
