Yesterday was just another hot, humid day in the city of Pittsburgh. Will, Victoria,Peter and I were thankful for a safe trip, the opportunity to see 'grandma', and have a very nice lunch. But to me, my kids, and a very special 84 year old woman in Munhall, PA it was oh so special. You see it would have been Mom & Dad's 55th wedding anniversary yesterday. 
After we ate lunch yesterday, I stopped at Giant Eagle and bought a dozen roses. We went to dad's grave and each laid a rose on it. I said a prayer thanking God for mom and dad's marriage and their love for Jesus Christ. Mom was very touched that we remembered this very special day in all of our lives. None of us were there but none of us would be here if that most blessed occassion did not take place.
After we got back to mom's, I found a vase and placed the remaining roses in it, filled it with water, and placed it right next to mom & dad's wedding picture.And you know something ? In spite of it being hot, humid, and just plain icky, it was a truly 'Beautiful Day' !
