Silver Linings

Today marks my parents' twenty-fifth wedding anniversary. Looking at them at the dinner table, it's hard to believe that the happy couple feeding each other cake has had run-ins with the law, adulterous affairs, bastard children, physical confrontations, emotional hang-ups, etc.

But here they are, twenty-five years later, after promising "till death do us part." There have been so many doubts in between day one and today, but looking at them, it's very clear that this is the life they want. I don't know if it was ever possible that they be better people.
