They were two ordinary people who met at a dance in the fall and were married the following spring. They were a bit unusual right from the start - they waited 5 years before they had their first child, and they never resorted to spanking. I watched them grow up and grow together. They adapted to whatever life brought them - shifted roles and responsibilities when circumstances dictated. Both high school graduates, they continually pursued their mutual curiosity and love of learning about music, culture and history, and nurtured that enthusiasm in their kids. They set a quiet example of generosity, service and loyalty to friends, family, customers, colleagues and community. Wrestling with normal human frailties, there was always the underlying commitment to and appreciation for each other. Our home was filled with music, laughter, and good conversation. They encouraged us to be individuals -- and even when they didn't like what we might be doing at the time, they made sure to say that they always loved US. Today is my parent's 60th Anniversary. My Mom marked the occasion alone -- although they were together, Dad no longer recognizes her. I do believe, though, that, somehow, he knows her. He may not be able to grasp the concept that she's his wife, but within the deep connection of two souls that have been intertwined most of their lives, she feels familiar to him. He responds to the tenderness with which she feeds him, the familiar way she strokes his hair back from his face, the sound of her voice when she says his name. The expression on her face when she presses her forehead to his at the end of their visit is pure love and utter devotion. It's a sacred moment I am privileged to share. Here's to Morty and Estelle. I am in awe of their accomplishments. Love at first sight is easy to understand; it's when two people have been looking at each other for a lifetime that it becomes a miracle. There is nothing nobler or more admirable than when two people who see eye to eye keep house as man and wife, confounding their enemies and delighting their friends. Marriage is our last, best chance to grow up. My husband and I have never considered divorce... murder sometimes, but never divorce. Only two things are necessary to keep one's wife happy. One is to let her think she is having her own way, the other, to let her have it. A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person. The goal in marriage is not to think alike, but to think together. Marriage is the triumph of hope over experience. Chains do not hold a marriage together. It is threads, hundreds of tiny threads which sew people together through the years. I think men who have a pierced ear are better prepared for marriage. They've experienced pain and bought jewelry.
