Yesterday, Mom and Dad celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. It was August 13, 1955 when the two became one, and at the family celebration, all seven of us kids, plus spouses, children, neighbors and lifelong friends were together to give thanks. I was the chauffer for the happy pair--they began their anniversary celebration at Mass. (Mom and Dad are both pretty private people and didn't want to draw attention to their anniversary by having a parish celebration. They just went to Mass together.) We gathered at my brother's house. With so many people, there was a bit of chaos, but the witness of a long and very fulfilling marriage was really inspiring. (Plus, I have to say, my parents are exceptional people!)
