My parents are celebrating their 35th wedding anniversary with us in the UK from Canada. My dad flew my brother and my fabulous sister-in-law in from Cape Town, South Africa to surprise my mom, and above all this, he bought her 'another' wedding and engagement ring as hers has been stolen...and today he went down on one knee and ask her if she would marry him again...
My parents have had their ups and downs of life as any other couple...my dad supported my mom through 5 years of cancer, (and she's been healthy and 'alive' for 10 years now - hoorah!)...my mom supported my dad when he moved to Canada at the age of 58....and like any couple, raising 3 children (which are adults now)...is a tough and loving job.
We believe we have the most amazing and loving parents in the world...and today I want to honor them...but the sentence that I mostly treasure today is what my dad wrote in the card to my mom..."If I were to live my life over, I would marry you again".
1 Corinthians 13:13:
and now abide faith, hope, love, these three;
but the greatest of these is love.
