I never remember when my mom and step-dad’s anniversary was (is?) but it was either May 11 or May 16. So, since this is right in the middle, happy anniversary mom, wherever you are, and dad I’ll say it in person when I call tonight, since you aren’t on Facebook (so why am I saying this to you here?)

Update: This was originally written on Facebook five years ago. As of today, mom is still dead and my step-dad is currently fighting for his life with Covid-19 in the hospital during this global pandemic. This year would have been their 60th anniversary, in passing.
