ABC Wednesday- The Letter "A"

I've decided to join the Wednesday fun and do the Wednesday ABC challenge.

"A" is for "Al and Arlene" my adorable parents. Mom was just one month short of nineteen and Dad was twenty-one on their wedding day. They celebrated fifty-six years of marriage last July and I think that is amazing.

This Sunday mom will be observing the day alone, well, without Dad anyway. She is very much on my heart as this milestone day approaches. Maybe I'll buy her a pretty bouquet to let her know I love her and remember.
