They were always there for each, through good and bad times, losing a child " my sister" and everything in between. My parents never spoke of divorce, my dad never walked out on my mom. They talked about their problems. They were best friends. This was a wonderful post.

That's how our grandparents, even my parents (they are older) treated eachother. Its about the family unit....not ME.

I never saw any 2 people love each other as much as those 2. <br /><br />Thank you for the reminder of keeping this important vow!Angiehttp://raisingstickyhands.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2032005568043451825.post-56978404513476488072013-01-24T11:08:37.470-08:002013-01-24T11:08:37.470-08:00This is beautiful!

We have this prevalent philosophy today that life is about "Whatever makes ME happy. What do I want to do? I DESERVE this, etc." I think that selfish mindset is destroying families.Elisebet Fhttp://mylifeaworkinprogress.com/noreply@blogger.com
