Of Gowns and Golden Wedding Anniversaries

April 1, 2007

My grandparents just celebrated their 50th year of being together.  50 years of each other's company.  I should have expected a tear-jerker but i didn't that's why it caught me off-guard.

It's amazing to think how they have survived those 50 years.  It must be nothing but pure love.  For me, my grandparents are the epitome of a good couple.  The perfect example on how to raise children and grandchildren.  They may have come from the poor but their dedication to family has let them produce such successful children.

What I like most about them is how they glorify God, thanking him for everything, every time.  I could only wish I have such a strong faith as them.  Maybe this is one of their secrets in keeping a strong marriage.

Every couple dreams of someday being able to celebrate fifty years of partnership.  My grandfather has only one tip for every one who wants to be like them, and I quote,

Sa mga nangangarap din na umabot sa 50 years, may isa lang akong tip sa inyo.  Bawat umaga, sa paggising niyo, wag niyo lang kalimutan huminga.

And that's why they call us the "Adam's Family".

 

Happy Golden Wedding Anniversary Lolo and Lola, even if I know you won't be able to read this, i just want to say I love you and thank you for all the good examples.  Truly, you have remained faithful to the vows you've made some five decades ago.
