Rave: Watching my Mom and Dad dance.

[jim]

Niece got married last Friday, good time. My parents have been married 60 years now, and are as good of parents as any kid could ask for. Favorite part of the night was watching my Dad ask my Mom is she wanted to dance, and of course she said "yes". Not a great picture, but this is what I got:

My Mom and Dad are both big Cardinal fans, especially my Mom. I called tonight just to say hi, and I could tell she was slightly aggravated that I interrupted the game. I'm ok with that.

They danced to one of my alltime favorites:

Great post, Jim. And I love the song too.

that is awesome

Jim has a great set of parents. They weren't too fond of me at 1st but allowed Jim to be my friend anyway. That is taking a big chance given my tendency to find trouble as a kid.

So awesome that you still have both parents Jim. Lost my dad in 2003 to ALS. Mom is 88 and still healthy. Loves her bingo every Friday

My parents admit today they misjudged you, you became one of their very favorites. But, in their defense, the very first time they met you was when they came down to get me out of jail. So maybe their original reservations were understandable.

I'm not making that up.

Yes Molly I cherish every day. My Mom is 77 had some very scary health issues recently, a couple of years ago I really wondered. But she bounced back beyond expectations and is relatively healthy. My Dad is 78 and going strong.

Absolutely. No matter how old they are or how old you are when you lose them, it's a definite shock to the system. My mom (89) is not doing as well as Molly's for dementia has taken hold of her. She's the last of her generation and I get in to see her as often as I can - even though she won't remember it the next day, I certainly will.

Whoa, so they got married at 18 and 17?

Good pic, Jim. That song was one of my parents' favorites too and dad always would sing it in this goofy voice.

Yep, young 'uns.
