Happy Anniversary!

My parents anniversary is on Thursday, September 17th. They will have been married 42 years. I was trying to think of one word or phrase that sums up their marriage in my mind. It came to me via the radio. "I will be here" by Steven Curtis Champan. I know its one of the more overused marriage songs but it really seems to fit for my parents. They are always there for each other! I can never think of a time outside of when Mom was in the hospital that Dad was not by her side or vice versa. It really seems to fit especially since the future years seem a bit murky and unclear due to this accident and the life changes. I love you Mom and Dad-thank you for showing me a picture of a beautiful marriage and how amazing it is to have parents that have been together for 42 years!

I Will Be Here(Steven Curtis Chapman)

Tomorrow morning if you wake up
and the sun does not appear
I will be here
If in the dark, we lose sight of love
Hold my hand, and have no fear
'Cause I will be here

I will be here
When you feel like being quiet
When you need to speak your mind
I will listen
And I will be here
When the laughter turns to cryin'
Through the winning, losing and trying
We'll be together
I will be here

Tomorrow morning, if you wake up
And the future is unclear
I will be here
Just as sure as seasons were made for change
Our lifetimes were made for these years
So I will be here

I will be here
And you can cry on my shoulder
When the mirror tells us we're older
I will hold you
And I will be here
To watch you grow in beauty
And tell you all the things you are to me
I will be here

I will be true to the promise I have made
To you and to the One who gave you to me

Tomorrow morning, if you wake up
And the sun does not appear
I will be here
Oh, I will be here.

As a treat here are some pictures I have of my parents from a dvd I did for them for their 40th! It shows you that Dad and Mom definitely are there for each other through all of life!
