Grands 50th Wedding Anniversary

This past weekend was my grandparent's 50th wedding anniversary. 50 years of marriage!!! Wow, look at God! I can't even imagine being 50 years old lol. But I'm so glad that God has blessed them...it couldn't have been easy, but it's encouraging to see that it is possible to be married "til death do us part."
I'm glad my family was getting together to appreciate my grandparents while they are still alive and not waiting until their homecoming service. Too many people wait until it's too late to say what they want to say to a person.

The celebration was so much fun. The theme was 50th Golden Wedding Anniversary. We decorated the room with gold and lavender accents. People from both my grandpa's side and my grandma's side of the family came.

I got a chance to dedicate one of my paintings to them...I teared up during my little speech, which took me by surprise lol...But it was a lot of fun, and I enjoyed myself so much. It was like a mini family reunion. It was awesome. My sis did a liturgical dance to patty labelle's when you've been loved, feels like heaven dedicated to our granparents. Family's just so awesome.


I love my fam so much, I know they have my back for everything. They are always encouraging and saying how proud of me they are, and I love them all to death. I just thank God for blessing me with the family I have, because not everybody has it like that. I don't take any one of them for granted.

Wow...7 years...and it honestly doesn't even seem that long ago. One of my cousins' husband was a security guard in the second tower. He lead a group of people out, went back in to help an elderly man, and that's the last time he was seen on earth. At first my cousin kept telling people she thought he was perhaps wandering around New York with amnesia sense none of his remains were discovered, then she finally let way to reality and began to grieve. Many lives were changed on that one day for a lot of people, especially in the U.S. where bombing is not the norm as it is for so many war impoverished countries. Just remember to live life to the fullest and to live every moment as if it is your last. And also remember to appreciate people while they are there to be appreciated before--for whatever reason--they're not in your life anymore.
