Commitment.

MORNING THOUGHTS ☕️

Today is my parents 60th wedding anniversary. I’m waking up in my childhood bedroom…I’ve been here all week and will be here until…

I’ve watched my mother over the last 6 years in awe and wonder as she’s taken care of my father and this evil dementia. I’ve watched them this week and I’ve had so many moments where I think: “Now THIS, this is the picture of for better or worse, in sickness and in health, til death do us part. THIS is where the rubber meets the road.”

People don’t stand by commitment like that anymore. When times get hard…and they WILL…many can’t make it through. But this generation was tougher…they saw their parents stick together thru thick and thin and they chose to do the same.

And this morning, as I watch the results of that dedication and fortitude and a love that grows old and deep over time…. I think it’s one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen.

Hard. But beautiful. As most things worth fighting for are.
