Ted and I celebrated our 57th wedding anniversary this year. As we do every year, we burned our wedding/anniversary candle–a gift from our florist. The card that came with the candle assured us the candle would still be burning for our grandchildren to see. It’s doing better than that–we already have great-grandchildren, ranging in age from 8 months to 4 years of age.
After our anniversary, I replace the candle in its box. You can see how large it used to be by the vacant area of the packing material.
Given how much of the candle remains after 57 anniversaries, we’re hoping to keep celebrating anniversaries until it burns to the bottom of the wick. Here’s to the next 50 years!
