I am truely blessed to still have my both my mom and dad with us. They are 89 and 86 years of age and both are still in good health. Crappie must be one healthy food because they would eat crappie once a week most of these years. Today my sisters and I are taking them out to eat at Saltgrass Steak House for their 69th wedding anniversary. Thats something you don't see everyday. I thought I would share this because many of you have meet my dad and ask about him regularly.
Happy Anniversary Mom & Dad,
Cliff

We are very lucky when we have long periods of time of what looks like ordinary life. Don't let it fool you, embrace every day. We are all in this together. Keep your stick on the ice and your eye on the ball.

Wow you are most fortunate! Lost my dad when I was 15 and he was 47, same year JFK was killed in 1963 and about one month apart. Lost my mom at 72 in 1991, then soon after most of my aunts and uncles so only a couple of cousins living at all in my family.
Count you blessing for sure! Glad you have your family still here and around you.

You are blessed Cliff. I lost my dad in '71 to a car wreck but mother is still doing well at 84. She re-married when I was a teenager and I couldn't ask for a better step-father than the one I have.

Happy Anniversary to your parents, Cliff. And they said it would never last. You are a lucky man. Does you dad guide every day or has he cut back some?
