She’s from Oak Park, Illinois. He’s from Warren, Indiana. Both the babies of their families with two older siblings and entrepreneur parents. A suburban girl and a country boy.
They met in 1967 at a mutual friend’s wedding while attending Indiana University in Bloomington. A teacher. A lawyer. Married June 28th, 1969.
I thank my stars these two found each other.
One city. Three homes. Four children. Five grandchildren. 50 Years.
When I was creating my parent’s wedding anniversary invitation and a little insert I included, the words grit and grace hit me.
“Let’s celebrate 50 years of grit and grace.”
Can you think of any two words to better describe a marriage and one of so many years?
Choosing every day to love and trust always, to forgive when needed, to stay resilient in a world that likes to throw curveballs.
Mom and Dad, you are such an example of grit and grace, and we love and appreciate you so.
XOXO Adam & Ella, Nathan, Olivia & Abby, Meghan, Henry & Huey
