Today they celebrate their twenty-third anniversary and I want them and everyone else to know just how inspiring their relationship is. I know as they read this they are probably thinking "we are inspiring?!"
Yes, inspiring.
I don't know where I'd be if it weren't for them. They have set the tone for the exact kind of marriage I want. True love, passion, a crazy daughter, independence when needed, a daily support system for one another, financial stability, silly humor, and did I mention a crazy daughter? Mr. Macho Man Ford even wears a suit for my mom from time to time (if you don't believe me, look to the right).
I must also mention that my dad used to forget what day their anniversary was. He couldn't ever remember if it was Feb. 1 or Feb. 2 and then finally the genius of a man that he is, started calling it "February Fool's Day" and hasn't forgotten since. And neither has my mom :)
God must have been looking out for me by giving me such amazing parents. I pray every night that they don't have to live a single day without one another because I know how happy they make each other.
Though I haven't put it into practice quite yet, thank you for all you do for me and for showing me what a healthy, fun relationship looks like and that it is possible. Here's to twenty-three more amazing years!
love you love me.
