My brother, Al, and his wife, Kathy, have just celebrated their 25th Wedding Anniversary. Al and Kathy's marriage had a bit of a rough start: They married in September and my mother passed away in October. The first baby came along in February and my father passed away the following November. So many life-changing events in such a short period of time, and they were so young! The odds were long on this pair . . .
Yet here we are! These two have somehow figured out how to make it work, while tackling life's challenges and raising three children. Today I heard Kathy call my brother “her best friend.” Al, a quiet man, just looked at Kathy with eyes that conveyed a world of affection . . .
God bless them both!

Rough times really show what people are made of. Apparently these tow are made of some pretty great stuff. Congrats to them both!!
Bless them indeed. It is tough enough when you first get married - trying to figure out how to live, love, and like this constant person in your life. Add to that the huge life events - they are a special breed indeed. Congratulations to Al and Kathy.
Happy anniversary to your brother and sister-in-law!! Congrats!
Happy anniversary to them! Life is such a rich journey, isn't it?
What a sweet couple. It is wonderful that they are best friends. Maria, I love the photo of the flowers.
