Wedding Anniversary – June 2, 1946

St. Joseph’s Church in Washington, D.C. – 73 years ago.

After the end of WWII just like many returning soldiers, my father married and fortunately found his soulmate in my mother. Both had been engaged to other people before they found each other.

They were to spend the next 57 years together and have 5 children, my father passing at the age of 85 and my mother at the age of 97. She spent almost 15 years living mostly alone.

Often my mother would search the clouds for images of my father and now I do the same, searching for them both.
