32 years.

by

today my parents celebrate being married for 32 years:) they fell in love in romania and made their way to the states and now, 32 years later, 6 kiddos later, they are still cute, joyful people. my parents are wonderful parents. i am not going to say they are the best parents on earth because everybody thinks that about their parents...but maybe i will say they are the best, because you know what? there can be more than one best:) so, from the top, my parents are the best parents on earth. they have sacrificed for us, they were and are selfless, they loved and love us completely in an unconditional way....because with 6 kids, that can be a whole lot of messy! they have brought and bring laughter and even when there have even been tears, all have been in the name of family and love.
i am a little bit sad that this is the first year of my life that i do not get to be with them to celebrate them, to celebrate their love. last night after the musical, i will write about that later, i sat down tired and ready for bed and as i laid in bed i was thinking about their anniversary and if i might be able to do something special for them since i can't be home. i started thinking about them, about love, and i started humming this tune. and while i was humming the tune i started singing actual words and well within minutes i decided i just needed to record it for them.
i put together just a sweet little tune for you, mama and tata:) i always get a little bit nervous about posting music, when i'm on it, i don't know why, i'm just self-conscious i think. we all are in one way or another. well, it is just a fun, sweet little tune and the recording is horrible...first i got out of bed to do it and second you can hear chloe stepping on the keyboard at one point:) but i like it. i know love has nothing to do with fairy tales and what not BUT i'm sure that someone out there can agree that these things exist in love. because even if it isn't a fairy tale, it is good. our Father intended it to be so. and someday, i would like to really record it for them. they deserve it a lot:)
just incase you have a hard time with the lyrics:

you are the sunshine
after the rain
you are the bright stars
in the dead of night

you-oo my love
you-oo my only one

you whisper softly
secrets in the shapes of hearts
you are the beauty
in the gloomiest
of times

so, it turns out you cannot just upload a song to a blog. this forced me to create this little number. it is cutting the photos because i wouldn't even know where to begin as far as making the thing smaller:) but if you really want to see the photos, just click on it. i just love my family:)
mama si tata, va iubesc forte mult si mi dor de voi si doresc sa avetii o ziua forte placuta:) ne vedem la cratun!!!
happy anniversary:)
