My parents have been married 68 years today.
We took them out for lunch one day last week…and I took a photo.
They are still able to live in their own home and care for themselves. Mom keeps busy sewing and cooking and Dad works in the yard (he grew potatoes and tomatoes in his garden) he also does some woodworking and goes to Bingo once a week with me.
This is a photo that was taken a few days after they were married.
October is their month, they both have birthdays within days of their anniversary. Dad will be 92 and Mom will be 89. Happy Birthday and Anniversary week to them!

Beautiful, just beautiful.
So nice that they can still live in their own home. So nice that you still have your parents in the world with you.
Happy 68th Anniversary to them! That is pretty special! The Lord bless them on this day and always.
How wonderful that you still have them both! My anniversary is Tuesday - it will be 48 years. I love that pic of them taken right after they married. They must have been young'uns.
That is such a great photo of your parents after they were married. Classic photos of the two today also. It is so great that they can celebrate it all in one month.
I love stories like this. True love that lasts. Great pictures and please tell them Happy Anniversary and Happy Birthday from me. They and you are so blessed to still be together.
Blessings,

That is so wonderful, especially that they can still live together in their own home. Congratulations to them!
Yes, be very thankful that you still have them! I'm having trouble keeping a garden at almost 67 and they still put in a few crops is amazing! I guess it keeps you young? Happy Anniversary to them both! Sharon

Happy Birthday, and Happy Anniversary, to your parents. I love the pictures. How sweet they still look.
Happy Anniversary to your parents! Love the then and now pictures - that is wonderful! In the current picture I see you have some beautiful Fall colors. Our leaves are just beginning to change.
How great that they are still doing so well 68 years is amazing, I hope they have more wonderful years together.
That's some record and they're still independent with a good quality of life.
Warms my heart all the way to my toes. Wonderful couple and you are so fortunate to have them still.
Wow.....God Bless your parents. What a beautiful couple. Thank you so much for sharing the pictures of them! What a gift they are!
They are doing well, and look good! So nice that they still have each other and can manage in their own home. Lucky you to still have them both. Happy Anniversary to them!
What a wonderful picture you took! Congratulations to your Mom and Dad, and thanks to them for sharing that flashback to 68 years ago. What a sweet remembrance.
What a blessing to have your parents yet! Congratulations on 68 years of marriage. That is a milestone that few can claim to have reached.
68 years of marriage - wow, what a milestone! Congrats to your parents, and cute pic of them.
That's quite a milestone! Love seeing them together, after the wedding and recently. So glad they are still together and able to live in their own home! My parents' wedding anniversary was Oct 4. I think it would have been 66. Unfortunately they both died in 2004. But I think they celebrate their anniversary together anyway...just further away than I wish they could be.
