unbreakable

bonds.

Last Sunday we gathered with our family to celebrate Cory and his accomplishments. As I looked through the pictures from his graduation party a story emerged. A story of family and of relationships.
Close relationships.
Ones that are connected through strong,
durable bonds.
Unbreakable bonds.

Grandma and Grandpa
on their anniversary in October they will be married for 58 years.

That's a pretty strong bond.

This is another tear jerker! (or maybe I'm just overly emotional today?) :-)

I love that when you looked at these pictures this is what you saw. It's amazing and it's so true.

Thank you for sharing these in such a meaningful way!

Love you!

Christina,
This is the sweetest post. I love the picture of your Grandma and Grandpa Hogan. They are such a strong example of what marriage should look like after 58 YEARS--still holding onto each other!
Thank you for sharing these pictures.
I wish I would have brought my camera because you need to be in a few!
Love you!
Erica

Love this post, as I am trying to type through the tears :), the sword fight, pirate photo, was good comic relief. Seriously, this is a great post and a great testiment to the bonds that hold us all together so well!

More great pics!!! You should frame the picture of Grandma & Grandpa holding hands & give that to them for their annv - it would be the perfect gift.
