Eternity is more than 17

Today is my Mom and Dad's 35 wedding anniversary. I have spent all morning feeling so grateful that even though they only had 17 years together before my dad passed away that they will still have all of eternity together. Eternity is WAY more than 17! My mom is amazing. I sometimes want to kick myself when I complain about Devin being gone for this or that. My mom has done a fantastic job all on her own. But I know that it hasn't really been on her own. I know my dad has been there for us all the way. I feel so lucky to have the best parents. They are pretty amazing people. My mom saves the world for someone every day. I'm sure my dad is busy doing the same thing.
My dad's parents Grandpa and Grandma Henderson, my dad, my mom, and my mom's parent's Grandpa and Grandma Upton. You've got to admit that my Grandma Upton's hair is amazing!

What a wonderful post. It made me really stop and think. Dave and I have been married for 18 years yet it doesn't seem like it. It makes you realize how quickly time flies and I'm so thankful we have eternity!
