My parents married in 2003, on what is now known as Free Slurpee Day (7/11). Now they couldn't have known their anniversary would become a “national holiday” so I guess they just lucked out. All jokes aside my mom cared so deeply about my dad. Starting a company together is no easy feat but of course, my mom was right alongside my dad. No matter the issue they always seem to make it work, no problem too big to solve. I wish that that had stayed the case and we had solved my mom’s illness. I know that there's going to be a gap in a lot of our lives and I know that will be felt the greatest by my father who loves my mom so much. Through thick and through thin they stuck through it, until the end by her side. To get the chance to love someone is so incredibly lucky and I am glad my mom got that chance.
