7-11

Yesterday was my parents' anniversary, they always said they chose 7-11 because they needed all the luck they could get. They knew their love would not be easy, and 37 years later full of highs and lows, love and frustration, births and deaths, they get to sit on their deck, hold hands and look at each other with true, unquestionable love. Their commitment to walking their paths together is inspiring to me. In honor of this special anniversary, since we almost lost my papa, the kids and I made a special "path" marker. To remind them of their journey.

We found a large rock in our yard, cleaned it and then painted it with acrylic paints. When it was dry I coated it with clear varnish. We blessed it with love and placed it in my parents' flower garden.
