My folks got married on February 8, 1947 and...

...came within just days of celebrating their 57th anniversary when he passed away in his sleep early on February 2.

I have dreams about him frequently--and in nearly 100% of those dreams he seems younger and more able-bodied.  I believe that this is a reminder to me that he's so much better off now, even though that doesn't keep me from wishing that he were still on this side.

Each day I live is one day closer to when we'll be reunited and never again have to be apart--and I don't say that as a death-wish, because there's still a lot on this side for me to enjoy and still a lot of things I'm meant to be doing, and I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next.

Blessings!

Ah, and today is my parents' anniversary.  We have a lot to be thankful for, with positive memories and thoughts of our parents.
