boy + girl

mom & dad,

thanks for getting married.

and also, thanks for staying married.

for 30 years.

that's a really long time.

i know it can't have always been easy.

{and it probably won't get easier}

but i'm so proud of you,

for making it this far.

dad,

thanks for loving mom so well.

you've done a lot of things right as a father,

but the one thing i'll always remember is

how you've loved our mother.

more than anything.

mom,

thanks for teaching us.

about beauty, music, laughter, learning.

most especially for teaching us

about the gospel.

for sharing your testimony with us,

through word & example.

that's the one thing you've given us,

that i carry with me

always.

happy

anniversary!

~you're gift comes with us next time we visit~
