My mom and dad through the years 1968-2013


These pictures are of my mom and dad through the years they fell madly in love in 1967, graduated in 1968 and married 4 months later in California on October 25, 1968 and had me, their first child on October 18, 1969.
Their love is like no other. When I found this picture, I can only imagine what their reunion will be like. It will be JUST LIKE THIS, my mom engulfed in his arms and crying and saying,
"I missed you so much Clay!!!" and my dad's smile will be huge.
This picture was taken on Thanksgiving 2011
These pictures were taken right after my dad's stroke,
the one on the left was July 25th and the one on the right, August 25th, 2013.
This was taken the night before my dad died, Sept. 9th, 2013.
My mom was ALWAYS by his side and was the great woman behind the great man!!
 
I called my mom to wish her HAPPY ANNIVERSARY and she shared with me that this was the first time in their 44 years of marriage that she had bought dad flowers. She said that she was at the grave and talking to dad and scheduled a date with him. So she said, "I've got to get off the phone, I've got to get to the temple for the 8:40am session and my date." So I asked her who was going with her? and she replied, "Dad is meeting me there, just me and dad!"
It's so hard to see them separated, but I know that my dad is sooo close but for us we just can't see him, but we can FEEL him!!!
Someone told me that when I randomly cry, it means that our loved ones are near us and that's how we feel them. That would make so much sense, because I randomly cry cause
I miss my dad sooooo much!!!
