I came across this gem earlier this summer while at my parent's house. It was tossed inside an old nightstand drawer which probably hadn't been opened in years. Since it seemed so randomly placed and no one was missing it, I decided the photo would now belong to me. (And I may or may not have been emotional at the time worrying about what it would be like while my parents were gone for three years and therefore felt more of a need to take this little keepsake with me).
My mother looks so radiant. My father looks so much like my little brother it scares me. They both look so young and full of life. I'm very grateful that thirty-two years ago today they were sealed as husband and wife in the Mesa Arizona temple and started a family. What a great example they have been for me.
I love you, Mom and Dad! I hope you get a moment to enjoy your special day while traveling the mission and meeting your missionaries!
