She does, but that's about it. Due to her MS, she cannot use her arms or legs, and has to be helped for EVERYTHING! She is also dementing lately

. I hope she will realize and enjoy the celebration!! I love my mom!!!!

I am sorry she is having those problems Lut. She is very lucky to have such a great husband.

My father suffered from alzheimers and the dementia was very hard to watch, just remember all the good times even when she cannot.

What a great post! It is great to see all the pictures of the years gone by! What an achievement, you must be so proud of them! Be proud of yourself too for planning such a great event for them!

They look like a lovely couple and even though your Mom has her struggles and is dementing, Im sure she will be able to appreciate the celebration. When I worked in the nursing home I worked with patients like that and when their family came you could see it in their eyes that they enjoyed themselves

I hope you have a great time this thursday Lut!

That is wonderful news!!!

(as to their lips being red....maybe they were eating a berry popsicle? LOL)

I just heard the weather forecast for Thursday: cloudy and showers

. Oh no............

**Killearn Kitties** · 05-23-2006, 04:35 AM

There is time for the forecast to change yet. We will keep all our fingers and paws crossed!

**petslover** · 05-23-2006, 11:13 AM

wow that is amazing. I have talked to you about this on MSN before but I want to say Congrats to your parents again!!!

You are surely a special daughter.

**Donnaj4962** · 05-23-2006, 11:22 AM

What an amazing accomplishment! I love hearing about such true love! Your Father sounds like a wonderful man, and your Mom, I am sure, is very appreciative of all that he does!

My parents celebrated 55 in February of this year. On their 50th, we five daughters had a huge party for them in Florida! They eloped, and never had a wedding or reception, so we had the traditional reception for them.... complete with a wedding/anniversary cake, DJ and dancing, a toast, videographer, and the blue garter for my Mom! It was a wonderful time! One of my favorite pictures of my parents was taken that day, of the 2 of them dancing together!

Enjoy the day, come rain or shine! It will be something that all of you will cherish forever!

Thanks for sharing your photos with us. I am sure they will LOVE the gift you made for them! It is beautiful!

Congratulations to all of you!

Lut, what a warm and very touching thread. Thank you for sharing such an intimate glimpse into your parents lives.

They are blessed to have had such a wonderful daughter as you.

**Maya & Inka's mommy** · 05-23-2006, 12:12 PM

Wow, thank you you for the super-sweet comments; they make me blush

**shihtzulover850** · 05-23-2006, 12:26 PM

Congrats On Their Big Six Oh 60!!!!!

**Maya & Inka's mommy** · 05-24-2006, 08:41 AM

He he, the celebration is tomorrow already!! The weather forecast is bad: rain and clouds

.
This must be Murphy's law: when I wanted to try my clothes on (I bought them 2 months ago), I couldn't find my pants anywhere

I searched for at least 35 minutes! I was forgotten that I hung it in Bernard's closet for trousers.... . Oh oh, of course I am suffering from a migraine now

. Oh well, better now than tomorrow

I will post pics asap!!

**Pawsitive Thinking** · 05-24-2006, 09:13 AM

I know its going to be a wonderful day whatever the weather!

**Maya & Inka's mommy** · 05-27-2006, 06:50 AM
