This is my grandparents 59th anniversary. My grandmother always said it was so hard to have an anniversary this time of year, and I think she regretted getting married on the day that they did.
I wore her wedding dress when I got married 13 1/2 years ago. That made her very happy.
This is going to be a hard Christmas for us, because for the first time in my life, my grandparents won't be at Christmas. They are both suffering, among other things, dementia and/or Alzheimer's disease. It would just be too hard for them. We can go see them later, but it's hard knowing that they won't be with us.
They certainly don't know that it's their Anniversary, and they barely know each other at this point. I want to always remember this day for them, because they were so happy. That's easy to see.
Today is sentimental too, since Allen and I got engaged today, 14 years ago. I'm glad I get to share this day with my grandparents in a small way.

I know it'll be hard not having them as a part of your Christmas this year. We'll be thinking aobut you and them. The picture is so sweet and I still love that you wore your grandmother's dress at your wedding.
