My grandparents have been married a million years today…well, actually 62, but in today’s world 62 might as well be a million!!
There is nothing sweeter than these two people and their love for each other and their family. My Goggie reminds me all of the time how proud they are of their “brood” as she calls us and how they marvel at its size (as pictured above, not that we’re really all that big). Goggie and Grandaddy have two girls, my mom and my aunt. Each of them has two children, which then spreads into my mom’s two son-in-laws and three grandchildren. Grandaddy talks about how it was just the two of them and now, we’re a whopping 16 members strong. Getting us all together isn’t always easy and actually sometimes its Christmas (literally) before you can close one door behind all of us, but oh the good times we have when you get it done! The photo is from Grandaddy's surprise 90th birthday last year...just a reminder of the good times that happen when the Reeves all come town!
The foundation of all of our family lies within these two people, not to short any other of my family members, but the love and faith of these to individuals has spurred the rest of us through many, many years and has crossed the boundaries that others would never even approach. They are always there loving each of us even when we are all tied up in the business of our own lives.
Chris and I have been married 10 years next month and I know the things that we’ve faced and survived...sometimes only by the “skin of our teeth” as they say; I cannot even imagine what 52 more years will bring, but I know for sure that there isn’t anything but the Lord Himself calling one of them home that will ever come between these two. They are a shinning example of love and faithfulness. I’m sure that they could both share some ugly stories if we really pushed them, but you’ll never hear those from either of them. What you would hear is that their Lord is the reason they have made it and He is answer; He is the answer to standing the test of time.

How sad that I am sitting here with tears in my eyes for the second time today, thanks to those two crazy kids. We are so very blessed.
