Let me tell you a little about my parents...
Mark and Jess Anne started their journey together quite young. He was 21 and she was 19. Wow - still kids themselves. If you do the math you can surmise that their commitment to this journey and each other certainly was encouraged by the news of a baby. From the beginning, their mountain was high. And, if you know anything about their journey, their mountain continued to grow. At times they climbed the mountain hand in hand, at times one was leading the other, and at times one drug the other up the mountain.
I have learned so much by these two and their journey. These two showed me what unconditional love is. They showed me that marriage is beautiful. That marriage is handing your heart to someone with complete trust. That it is heart breaking. That it is forgiving. That it is thrilling. That it is hard work. That it is selfless. That it is a partnership. That it is respect. That it can disappoint. That it can be awe inspiring. That it is a commitment. That this is what love looks like.
They have not reached the top their mountain. I don't believe they will until they say their earthly goodbyes. But, they are still climbing. Beautifully. Together.
Thank you and good job Mom and Dad. I love you to pieces.
