A 50th wedding anniversary is a very rare thing, I have come to realize. I am not sure what else you might compare it to but I can only remember knowing a handful, or less, people that have been married that long in my whole life. I feel it a total privilege that my very own parents have themselves reached this tremendous milestone. It is something that I too hope to achieve someday.
This kind of occasion has been an excellent excuse to draw the family in together for some decent quality family time. We were lucky enough to participate in the family reunion thing last August but that does not take any of the thunder for tonight's celebration. I like hanging with my nephews and nieces and brothers and sisters. They are some pretty rad people. A humorous lot at that.
I am also grateful to catch up with several old buddies from the deep past. Staying in touch with people vicariously through Facebook and whatnot is quite acceptable in many cases, but it sure does not beat getting the chance to chat with a friend in person once in a while. Personal contact with those from my past is always a blessing!
