Mom and Dad

       So here we are, 31 years into our grand adventure and WOW what an adventure it has been. If we could have looked into the future all those years ago, we would have shook our heads and said, "There is no way we can do all that in such a short time." But we surely have. 

       What greater accomplishment can there be than to see seven beautiful children, their spouses and kids growing, learning, achieving, loving and sharing. It becomes more and more apparent as we move through this life, that children were sent here to teach parents, not the other way around. If more parents would realize that, the world would be a much better place.

        There is no joy more deeply felt than that of seeing a child succeed, no laugh more wonderful than one shared with a child, no love more profound than the love shown between brothers and sisters.

         We love each of you so very much. Take care of each other, love each other, teach each other. Have patience and understanding as you help one another through life for surely each one of you will reach a point in your life when you will need the help of those who love you.
