The writer Rob Heinlein said, "Love is the condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own," and that was exactly what I witnessed this weekend. My maternal grandparents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on November 5th and the family went down to visit.
And by family, I mean alllllllll the family. And friends. From 50 years. There was a big party with good food and drinks with fun music and great company...and everyone had a ball! And I was able to show my anniversary gift to my grandparents and the guests.
Making this video was so much fun for me! I absolutely loved looking through pictures and hearing stories while recording the video. There's nothing quite like learning about and loving your family!
But the most wonderful thing about this weekend was really seeing the love between my grandparents. These two have been through a lot, as you could imagine, living their lives together. I've been thinking recently about loyalty, respect, and love and to witness two people celebrate sharing those qualities for their 50th year together with a community of people who have supported, loved and been touched by them along the way makes me certain that those characteristics are just as important as they ever have been
