Today is a pretty special day in our family, because forty-six years ago, a new chapter of a love story that started in high school was begun, my grandpa and grandma said "I Do."
They are the center of our family and I couldn't chose two more awesome people to be my "step"grandparents. I say "step" because I've always been a granddaughter and been included. I've never been made to feel like I'm an outsider and I love that.
They make me want to be a better person, I can't imagine my life without these two amazing people in it. Whether it's a night playing cards at our house, Christmas dinners at their house, my grandpa's laughter, my grandma's prayers, the way he talks or the way she cooks. The way my grandpa grabs your neck when he walks up to you and pulls you in closer and the way my grandma's hug feels after they've returned home from a winter stay in Arizona. The way she yells RICHARD! when he's annoyed her in some way, the way he holds her hand & holds open the door for her wherever they go. My grandma says she got one of the last good ones who can and willingly does anything for her. She's always telling me I'll never find a man as good as my grandpa. These things make up just a few of my favorite things about my grandparents and the love they share.
Happy Anniversary to my awesome grandparents I love you guys SO much.
that is such a true quote :) i'm so glad you have grandparents who have been together for so long! my grandparents aren't together anymore, but i do have "adopted" grandparents that have been. it's so wonderful!
