My Mama and Tatang (mother and father) would’ve been married today for 35 years… that is if he were still alive. It makes me think though – Should anniversaries still be celebrated or should you at least greet the surviving spouse if the other has passed on?
My mom thinks so. Her way of thinking is that, this is still a special day for her. She was married to a wonderful man on this day years ago and she will always have wonderful memories between her and my father.
I think it’s really, really sweet of her to think of it that way. Thank you Lord for giving me such perfect parents.
Happy Anniversary, Tatang and Mama. I will always love you soooooooooooooooooooooo much.

Absolutely! I think that the surviving spouse wants to remember and is thrilled that other people do as well.
Aww, she should celebrate. I hope to make it that long with my hubby!
I think it should still be celebrated. For sure your mom misses your dad and celebrating it would make her feel as if he’s still around.
