40 + 5

You met in a different time it seems when vows meant something.
You stuck together through thick and thin and even thinner.
You held each others hands through sicknesses and grief.
You raised your own children and took in those in need.
You taught values and morals and how to stand up for yourself.
You taught music and laughter and kindness and love.
You still stand strong together when things are not as easy as they once were.
You love and are loved.
Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad.
