Happy Anniversary, Mom and Dad!

My parents, Doris and Phares Reichard, were married fifty years ago today. Fifty years!

That’s a long time.

And they’re still together today. Amazing, eh? How many people do you know who stayed together that long? Heck, a lot of couples can’t even make it to 10 years these days.

It’s hard for me to grasp what it would feel like to be married for that long ’cause I haven’t even lived that long yet. Of course, if I were older than 50, reporting their marriage would seem a bit scandalous.

As you can see in this picture, they still seem pretty happy. Of course, like all of us, they have their moments. But for the most part, they’ve been happily married for FIFTY years.

Wow.

Happy Anniversary, Mom and Dad!
