If it were simply about the numbers it'd look something like this.
What started with 1 boy and 1 girl
Continues 55 years later.
Numerous moves and homes
18 states lived in
Approximately 14 countries visited while serving our country
1 LDS mission served
4 sons + 4 daughters-in-law,2 daughters + 2 sons-in-law = 6 Temple marriages =
12 grandsons
19 granddaughters
6 great-grandchildren
But it's not just about the numbers because there have been uncountable
Prayers offered
Laughs shared
Tears shed
Hands held
Games played
Hugs given
Meals prepared and shared
Lessons learned
Help bestowed
Stories told
Scrapes and Illnesses healed
Examples lived
Testimonies entrusted
and a
Legacy Endowed.
We love you Mom and Dad!
Happy Anniversary!

What a sweet post!!! Happy day to your parents. Dustin and I celebrate our 6th on Saturday. We're just babies!
Thank you for the post. It's good to have all those things written down. Now I'll have some place to go check on the numbers, when I forget. That was really a nice post. It was really touching. Thank you again! You are a good writer, you have a good way with words. We love you!
