4-tootsie We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.  ~Thornton Wilder

My parents, Melvin and Frances, got married 57 years ago today, just one day after a Valentine's day snowstorm in 1953.

4-tootsie2 He would die just 27 years later, in 1980, now 30 years ago.

So on this very day, Happy Anniversary to the two people who gave me life. And a reminder to be mindful of your treasures.
