Forever

1. for all future time; for always
2. continually

It was a beautiful, sunny day forty-six years ago this day, filled with love, promise, and hope for a wonderful future. We repeated the traditional vows to care for one another through all life’s highs and lows, continually, for all future time, for always. We have, by today’s grading system, “exceeded expectations” in societal terms. We knew we would. On that day my dad knew we would too. And my dad, well, he was always right:) The team named “Dan and Rin” has made such amazing memories together, and we will continue to do so forever, continually, for all future time, for always. Precious memories, more precious as we’ve continued to grow and understand, through so many life events, the fragility of life. Each and every day is a gift. Take time to unwrap that gift, and live and love in the present, today and forever. Happy anniversary to us, and to Tim and Jenny (who married on the date of our 28th anniversary)!
