What is it with people who try to make something awful out of sweet, dear memories? I'm glad you didn't allow that woman to rob you of your precious memories of your parents. I have great ones of mine, too, and that is fact, not fiction. Just as your memories are fact, not fiction. You can't make up love.<br /><br />XO,<br /><br />Sheila :-)The Quintessential Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010105595059019883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660197240885544447.post-40881838692597944942009-09-09T23:35:19.412-04:002009-09-09T23:35:19.412-04:00What lovely parents you have..and what a great pic...What lovely parents you have..and what a great picture of you with your parents...you are just so pretty!!

I love how your mum and dad met and married....the love you feel for them is so obvious and it's also very obvious you were very much loved and loved them back just as much. Keep those loving warm memories close to your heart....and keep making wonderful memories with your family now. You are blessed and I know you appreciate your blessings. You look so much like your dad.....:-) HugsBerniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03024565921761129108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660197240885544447.post-11958885195453630672009-09-07T22:07:54.543-04:002009-09-07T22:07:54.543-04:00Thanks, everyone for visiting!

It stinks. But I am glad that I have so much good to hold onto also.<br /><br />Jackie, you are always so sweet and I appreciate it so much. You always have something positive to say.<br /><br />Thanks, Becky,for stopping by, and thanks for all your kind words, and thanks for being so understanding.<br /><br />Diana, you always make me laugh, and you always make me feel better about everything and anything! Thanks so much!<br /><br />Diane, no, Mom told me it was a juke box and that they really didn't have a 'wedding song' because of the band strike but that someone did play on the juke box "I'll Be Loving You Always".<br />Mom Mom played the piano when they all went back to the apartment.Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679894230965874631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660197240885544447.post-69025268881709280722009-09-07T21:56:34.641-04:002009-09-07T21:56:34.641-04:00HI EILEEN -

Wonderful.<br /><br />I am SO sorry you have had such bad experiences with therapy. It gives good therapists/counselors and the excellent work they do to really help people such a bad rap when the one's who are quite ill themselves are causing more harm than good. I have been an addictions counselor for over 20 years and I take a lot of pride in my work and I feel privileged to have been part of anyone's healing journey. I have never hurt anyone, only helped. I wanted you to know that. <br />Again, such a beautiful love story and I am thrilled to read about it.<br /><br />Love Gail<br />peace.....Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11337675996256691215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660197240885544447.post-58784698813503604632009-09-07T21:47:27.762-04:002009-09-07T21:47:27.762-04:00I don't think there was a juke box, I think Mo...I don't think there was a juke box, I think Mom-Mom played the piano because of the strike.<br />dhoffAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660197240885544447.post-85388760903786475542009-09-07T21:45:05.653-04:002009-09-07T21:45:05.653-04:00Hi Eileen, how wonderful that your parents have ma...Hi Eileen, how wonderful that your parents have made the journey this far together.

I wonder what the therapist would make out of a memory of being scolded a little. <br /><br />That was a nice story of how your parents met.<br />In the old photo the other woman kneeling looks like your mom, almost like twins.

What a w...Eileen...Thank you so much for this post.<br />What a wonderful love story...the first date...the ring... the description of your Mom's gown. It sounds so beautiful. I'm glad your Dad got the red head...and you are blessed to have had loving parents. The way in which you shared a portion of their lives on the date of their anniversary shows a loving daughter that has many many memories...and I'm so glad you shared this portion of them.....with me. I usually say 'us'....but I read this one as if was written just for me. I wish your still had your parents...I do. I send you much love...and a special 'thank you' for a well-written 'Happy Anniversary' to your parents. They are a beautiful couple. Love to you, Eileen.<br />J.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660197240885544447.post-39528108857658511832009-09-07T19:36:15.826-04:002009-09-07T19:36:15.826-04:00Hey sweetie, What a blessing to have had such awes...Hey sweetie, What a blessing to have had such awesome parents. Mine were pretty great, too. I'm so glad you didn't let the devil steal the joy from your sweet shared memory!! I don't care much for the therapy thing either unless they are Christians and are applying God's Word to whatever the issue may be.<br /><br />Love your photos, too. Old family photos are the best!<br /><br />Hope your weekend was a good one and that God bathes you in His love and peace. I miss my folks, too. Sure know how you feel.<br /><br />Love and hugs,<br />BeckyBECKYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10272099392249278847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660197240885544447.post-61429946840208087592009-09-07T18:09:20.462-04:002009-09-07T18:09:20.462-04:00Oh my gosh Eileen that ending, I'm sorry, was ...Oh my gosh Eileen that ending, I'm sorry, was really funny. You are so much better than me. I wonder what would have happened to me after I told the therapist to shut the #@!# up ! I probably would have gotten hauled away and I wouldn't be here today!<br /><br />Sometimes if you feel that you are o.k. than you are! There are some that just must pick things apart and are not capable of taking things at face value.<br /><br />I love the sweet story of your mom and dads meeting and him sending her a check for a ring. And I can really see his smile in yours Eileen. I wonder if that photo of you and your parents was from the 80's? It looks like we did our make-up the same back then!<br /><br />The black and white of your family reminds me of your gatherings now and all of the happy faces! Your mom and dad looked very young there.And it's neat to see the same family resemblances now and then. It is a great photo Eileen! You have a good strong and loving family!
