25 Years

 Today was the 25th wedding anniversary of our son Mike and his wife Melissa. I can hardly believe it has been that long, and that I am that old. Here is a recent picture of them.


Here they are in China 14 years ago when they adopted their daughter.


And here is their wedding picture from 25 years ago!


Chains do not hold a marriage together. It is threads, hundreds of tiny threads which sew people together through the years.

* I did not take any of these pictures, they were taken by different people at different times.

Happy anniversary to you're wonderful son and wonderful daughter-in-law. I liked all the photos and they bring back memories. When I first met you and was very small and now she's a young lady. The Year my son had his 25th anniversary made me feel old and now I think if my memory serves me it's 27 or maybe even 28 yowza we're getting old Jenny
