Anniversary

Today would have been my grandparents' 51st wedding anniversary. Earl and Shelvery Howard were married on June 22, 1959 and had a happy life. Not many marriages last as long as theirs did and they were very much in love. They had a beautiful marriage full of laughter, some tears, three children, three grandchildren, and now three great-grand children. I know my Mama misses my Papa deeply and she has had a rough week. He would be so proud of her for staying strong and continuing to live, even though he can't be here with her. Happy Anniversary Mama and Papa! We miss you lots Papa, but are taking care of Shelby just for you!
