Well, I can't believe that mom and dad are actually old enough to have been married for 33 years! Congratulations Mom and Dad! What an amazing accomplishment, especially in this day and age. With the challenges that have come upon our family and of course, Mom, in the last 2 years, it really makes you really look back and reflect on all of the good times. Mom is doing so well now and for that I will be eternally grateful. She has been through hell and I'm so proud of her for fighting her cancer battle as hard as she has. I have never met a stronger lady in my life. I hope that I can have just half her strength to help me through my trials and tribulations. Dad took Mom to Salt Lake and beyond yesterday for their anniversary. He had mentioned to me that he wanted to do something special for her. Well I hadn't heard from them ( and of course I was leaving them along for their romantic day out together). Dad called me around 8 and told me that he wanted me to know that he had made good on one of the promises he's made mom for a really long time. Well I don't know how, but I totally guessed it right off... Mom is the new owner of a Lexus!!! Dad was oh so shocked when I guessed it and he was actually speechless. So he took her down and bought her a 2004 Lexus! It is beautiful and it is so very comfortable. I'm impressed! Congrats Mom! See, you did get payment for being such a great mom and wife for that last 33 years. I am so happy for you!
