Can you imagine taking a road trip for 70 years with the same person as your co-pilot? You have to agree on the stops, the starts, the destinations. You might not even know where you are going all of the time, but you make it work. You weather the breakdowns and get the tune-ups done together. You might even change vehicles along the way!
Today I was privileged to attend the celebration of a 70-year journey of marriage between my aunt and uncle. The event was a chance to reconnect with myriad cousins, remember family connections, and laugh about the aging process which has occurred with all of us. We discerned that no one was exempt from it, save those we have lost along the way. It was truly a beautiful and holy day among the many we are given.
What a great way to think about the life Journey we are going on. I love it. You have a great way of putting it into writing
Sounds like a wonderful family time, well worth “your journey” to celebrate theirs. Your road travels are really enjoyable to read, keep writing!
70 years!! Incredible and a true testament to love and compromise
Love the blog!!
