Today is my Dad’s 90th birthday!
My three sisters and I were able to visit my parents all at the same time. That doesn’t happen often. I have three brothers who were not there. I live on the east coast, I have three siblings in Arkansas (where my parents live) and three in California. It is a rare treat that we get together with my parents at the same time!
I am so thankful for the Christian home in which I was raised. Was it perfect? No. But no home is perfect. I was given unconditional love and taught to make the Lord first in my life.
My Mother’s birthday is in 11 days on February 12th. She will be 89! Their anniversary is February 13th and I believe they will have been married 69 years.
I love you Mother and Daddy! Happy Birthday!!
Precious, Mary! It speaks volumes of their ages and their 69 years of marriage. We both come from a large family six of us (3 boys & 3 girls). Enjoy them and so glad you were able to be with them recently.
I LOVE this picture!! So nice to see your family. Happy Birthday to him!
Mary,
What a beautiful treasure…celebrating birthday with loved ones. Thank you for posting and I'm so sure your parents were so appreciative of the efforts that you all made to be there with them all at one time.
Hope your week goes well.

How lovely! So glad you were able to be there with them.
My grand daughters turn 8 on the 13th of Feb and my sister turns 59 on the 11th and my mom turns 80 on the 22nd. wow.
You can tell from their faces how happy they were to have you girls there to celebrate your Dad's 90th birthday….My mother in law will be 90 in May and my mother's birthday is February 12….so I feel like I am living right along side of you with elderly parents…..
I am so glad you could be there….
Hi ladies…thanks for the nice comments. I wasn't there yesterday, that picture was taken last November. The weather is just too dicey this time of year to plan a trip. I DID plan a big family celebration 5 years ago…6 of the siblings were going to be there for Dad's 85th birthday. Knowing how the weather can be, I did not want to be dependent on the airlines in February. So my husband took vacation and we were going to drive. We had a hugh snow storm and they shut down the interstate. We didn't get to go. I had spent 6 months planning the event from the east coast and orchestrating everything.
Anyway…in my original post I had put this was taken last November, but then I saw the date on the date on the picture and edited that line out. So, we were not all together yesterday…but we were together in November.
Beautiful picture of a beautiful family–please tell your mom and dad that blogland said happy birthday and happy anniversary.
Love you,
D.
great picture! happy birthday to your mom!
