ALL Because Two People Fell in Love...Friday, February 14, 2014

It was 63 years ago today that Daddy gave Mother her diamond ring...I shared in my Facebook post that I'm NOT sure what the truth is, BUT Mother MIGHT have asked herself to marry my Daddy....

Mother's story WAS that she and daddy were having a milkshake, and mother, who ALWAYS was telling me about a dream she had, told Daddy that she DREAMED that they got married.  Daddy said, WELL, why don't we...AND that is ALL I know...

I LOVE this picture of Daddy...HE had hair!!  HOW funny is THAT...Daddy was NOT a romantic, but he SUPPOSEDLY dated several women during his life.  He was 28 and Mother was 19 when they got married...AGAIN, according to Mother, Daddy told her ONCE that he loved her and that he would let her KNOW IF he changed his mind...I can neither PROVE or DISPROVE this fact either...LOL...

My parents were NOT mushy lovie-dovie people and it makes me smile when I see a picture like this...This was made in 1959 when they had been married for 8 years...

This is how I remember my parents...They were happy people...THEY were LOVED and THEY LOVED...They were respected and RESPECTED...THEY LOVED us with EVERY ounce of their being and they WORKED on being married and on keeping my family safe and secure...

They married on July 18, 1951...

Below is the Valentine's Day Card that my Daddy sent to Mother in 1951...It was the only card in this bag of pictures that I have been going through...I don't think that was a coincidence...I thought you would get a snicker out of seeing it...CARDS have CERTAINLY changed since 1951...

Daddy sent Mother a MUSHY card one year, and Mother laughed...It really did hurt my Daddy's feelings and he said he would NEVER send her another card...WELL, he did, BUT NEVER was it a MUSHY card...

I've said SO MANY times, that I don't know WHY I was chosen to be placed in such a loving family...I have been blessed BEYOND words...ALL of my life is BECAUSE Two people fell in love...Blessings to YOU...~charlotte♥
