Anniversary

On this day 44 years ago, Sam Thomas entered my life permanently--that is to say, we were married in the College Church Chapel on November 22, 1962.

We had 30 wonderful years together before he died--Years that held much laughter, many celebrations, the birth of a son, the changing of jobs, building a house in the country together, and enjoying life in the Son.

On our first anniversary, the superintendent of schools interrupted my class to say that school would be getting out early because of the death of Pres. Kennedy. Needless to say, we didn't do much celebrating of the anniversary that weekend. We were glued to the television set because of the tragedy.

Life contains so much good and bad it is not a wonder that Ecclesiastes found it Vanity, Vanity.
