As Valentines Day approaches, I've been thinking a lot about love. Not just the love between my husband and I but the love that created each generation of my family. The past in my family is a long and beautiful tale of lifelong marriages.
Can you see it in my Great Great Grandparents?
The beauty of a family's love story.
My paternal Grandparent's had never met but fell in love through letters during WWII.
My stunning maternal Grandparents on their wedding day, my mom wore that dress too.
My mom and dad, married six weeks after they met, had five beautiful children and have been the greatest influence on my life.
Erik and I have a lot to live up to, a long way to go. But as we get ready to celebrate our thirteenth Valentines Day together, more in love than ever, I'd say we're off to a good start.
Happy Valentines Day!
Oh Emmi, that was so beautiful. I am so proud of you and your family. You and Erik will have a wonderful life together. Though these years can be straining with little ones, you will look back and treasure each memory. Your heart is exactly where it should be... and it is strong and it will endure and be blessed 10 fold as your dad and i have been with our little grand-ones.
