this beautiful picture of my parents was taken in 2008, about a year before my father died. today would have been their 70th anniversary. my mother is now in a nursing home and looks much the same -- as beautiful as ever.
somehow this is the way i will always remember them both -- together, smiling, loving being together, loving being with their daughters, loving life.
my sweet miracle of a husband, chuck irwin, took this picture with all the love he and my parents felt for each other.
it was a beatiful time and one that will live in my heart forever. thank you mother and daddy for being amazing parents, role models and friends. i love you always. saundra
