Dad was diagnosed with anaplastic thyroid cancer on June 4th, 2009. Sadly, he lost the fight on August 28th, 2009. Less than three months and he's gone. Miss you, Daddy!

47 years ago tomorrow

I know the blog title tells you that 47 years ago tomorrow...but I don't have a scanned picture of their wedding day.  So, here's one of the earliest pics I have of our little family.  Taken in 1972, this is one of the first family portraits of us.  Don't you love my white boots and everyone's BIG hair?

So, back to 47 years ago tomorrow...my parents were preparing for their wedding.  Yes, that's right - They got married on a holiday weekend.  July 6, 1963 and it was a great day - I wasn't there, but those that were tell some great stories.  Apparently, Phoeniz, Arizona was very HOT that day/weekend!

As we remember the great father, husband, brother, son we had in my dad, we also remember what a great example my parents showed us of loving each other when times get tough and making good decisions for your kids.  Thanks to both of you for being such awesome role models!  I also want you to know that you were/are great grandparents!  Eli is so lucky!
