an anniversary to remember...

i remember a wedding some forty years ago... it was very nice,but honestly,it was very rocky at the start,because how do you blend a family with teenagers,and a young child??? honestly,there were some in the family,who were not too happy,at first... i have talked about the turning point in my mind about Patti,before,so i will not talk about that,but over the some forty years*,she has become the "rock" of the family,and my father has been the "heart" of the family... they love each other very much,and they almost can finish each both sentences,and are one heartbeat... example:when Patti was in the hospital recently,my father was in the hospital at all hours looking after her;must have read so many books that he must have gotten bored,but that is the way it has always been for this blended family... we stick together no matter what...
