In Love Til’ The Very End

For my parent’s 25th anniversary, all six of their children (there are five of us girls and one boy) stood together as their bridal party, joined by 20 of their friends who’d also been married twenty-five years or more, to watch them walk down the aisle and commit their love to one another yet again.

Less than 15 years later, my mom said goodbye to her bestfriend, confidant, lover and our father. It’s been a whirlwind of a month, one in which my mom became a widow and I got the opportunity to see my father’s impact in this world.

Thousands filled a church Friday morning to bid him farewell and one of the pastors to speak asked all the couples in the audience whose marriages had been positively impacted by my father and mother to raise their hand. What a legacy my Dad has left and now I will have the opportunity to spend the next 30+ years listening to my Mom talk about how wonderful my father was and how much she adored him until the very end. What an honor it will be to have those conversations.

This video is from their 25th anniversary. My father co-wrote this song (originally recorded by Eddie Kendricks) and sang it before escorting her down the aisle one last time. Although his voice cracks throughout, it’s a song (and a moment) she’ll never forget.

They loved each other until the very end and now that mantle of upholding a loving marriage has been passed to each of their children, of which, I am proud to be one.

Until Monday…make it a great weekend!
