Happy Anniversary to My Parents
Oct. 20th, 2023 02:12 pmHappy Anniversary to my parents!
Today is my parents’ wedding anniversary.
They are fine example of pulling oneself by the bootstraps and making their American Dream come to fruition. My parents are the children of immigrants who were born here. They used their bright minds to make good grades in school that allowed them to go to college.
My mother went into nursing and my father into optics (physics). Along the way they earned both their Masters and PhDs. They have worked hard and are the top in their fields.
Along the way they had four very different children. I will always appreciate that my parents didn’t see us as copies of each other (despite what certain people in fandom think) but treated us as individuals in all things. We all went out into the world encouraged to be ourselves. The careers we took were very different from each other. I am happy to say that we all get along swimmingly….well as well as brothers and sister do in the best conditions.
They included us in their adventures. They took us to museums, across the USA so we could learn about the history there in. I have a lot of fond memories of our annual Beach Week. We had our traditions, which changed over the years. I listened to the Watergate hearing and Nixon resign there.
I would not be even half the person I am today with out them. They encourage me. They helped me. They taught us through example, They are always interested in our adventures and we theirs.
Happy Anniversary to my Mother and Father!
I am grateful that my parents are mine.
