Sixty Years Together!

60 years together

Their three kids, all successful, agreed to a Sunday dinner in their honor.

"Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad," gushed Son No. 1 'Sorry I'm running late. I had an emergency at the hospital with a patient, you know how it is, and I didn't have time to get you a gift."

"Not to worry," said the father. "Important thing is we're all together today."

Son No. 2 arrived. "You and Mom look great. Dad, I just

flew in from Montreal between depositions and didn't have time to shop for you."

“It’s nothing," said the father "We're glad you were able to come."

Just then the daughter arrived "Hello and happy anniversary! Sorry, but my boss is sending me out of town and I was really busy packing so I didn't have time to get you anything."

After they had finished dessert, the father said, "There's something your mother and I have wanted to tell you for a long time. You see, we were really poor, but we managed to send each of you to college.

Through the years your mother and I knew we loved

each other very much, but we just never found the

time to get married."

The three children gasped and said, "WHAT? You mean we're bastards?"

"Yep," said the father, "Cheap ones, too.

Whatta coincidence - one of my high-school coaches and his wife are celebrating their 60th anniversary TODAY.

Their kids are legitimate, though...

Marriages seem not to endure as long as they did.

My grandparents celebrated their ‘diamond’ (75 years) a while back. All their 9 children and 45 grandchildren attended.

Made the local newspaper - even though they were just farm laborers - they were very healthy and devoted.

John and Martha have been married for fifty years. And that got John to thinking.

“Martha,” John said, “you were always there for me. When I got my draft notice, you were there. When I was injured in that car accident, you were there. When I got laid off from the factory, you were there. And when our house was destroyed by a tornado, you were there.”

“Martha,” John continued, “you are just bad luck.”

So sorry to hear that. That can be hurtful. We have both sides of the spectrum going with offspring. It is so hard to understand the lack of gratitude and attention from the “bad” ones.

We celebrated my parents’ 60th in 2017 with a small, visit-them-at-home party.

It was our 41st anniversary 2 days ago and today is my birthday. All 3 kids always remember my birthday and get me a present, on pain of death, which I learned from my mother. It’s the least they can do after everything we’ve done for them over the years, and I guess I trained them well because they never forget, lol.

My son and youngest daughter live within 35 minutes of us, and my older daughter lives 4 houses away, so we see them all frequently, although my son rarely calls which makes me a little sad. However, I’m pretty lucky that we are still a close, loving family. Thank you, Jesus!

My parents 53 years. Would’ve been 54 the other week. Constitution Day.

They weren’t even married until almost 30, either.
