Sixty-four years ago today, my mother & father wed....he's gone now....5 months almost to the day. I sat with Mom this morning....asking for memories. "Squeezing oranges for punch," she said with a smile. She was young...19 years to Daddy's 24. "We spent our first night at Aunt Ruth's beach cabin," she said, again with a smile...."Then we traveled to Norfolk, Virginia, where your Dad reported for duty at the naval base there." she said, remembering........ I am grateful to be sharing these moments with her....calling forth important memories....thankful, that because of this....I am!
