path

They were two separate paths. Each path different yet somewhat similar. Differences and similarities, his is what joined two very separate paths 45 years ago today.

Two individual people walked into a candle it sanctuary separately. Moments later they walked out again no longer on separate paths of life, but together in a lifetime journey of walking on the same path.

Across the world they were taken to the tropical islands to serve together. Then back again. Different states and different jobs. Every place their path took them milestones were set up along the way. Sometimes it bumpy and rough, but the two people remained on the same path together. After all they had pledged for better or for worse.

They were not alone on their path. Unselfishly onto to their journey the couple brought six children into the world.

Each child grew up watching these two people on their path and knew someday that if that was what marriage was they wanted it.

Happy Anniversary to my parents who started on their path together 45 years ago today.
