Sydney was to write an essay for her school about ‘love’. Since her parents were married for 27 years and going strong she thought they epitomized ‘love’. So who better to ask then them?
If Sydney was hoping to get some additional content to fill up her pages and reach the required word count, she got more than she expected. Sydney’s father had written an entire novel in his diary. It was private matter, not to be read in public.
But who would not want to share such a warm love story?
Sydney’s dad’s revelation of his immense love and respect, the description of her mother and how she affected and made his life worthy of living will surely bring tears to your eyes.
Of course, every marriage has its ups and downs… all cannot be hunky dory at all times…
He makes a special mention of how each family member had their own special role to play.
Sydney was the youngest, and had her own special role to play in the success of her parent’s marriage.
And finally he mentions that he cannot put his feelings into words. Although, I think we can all agree that he did a good job trying.
Sydney summed it up when she tweeted,
“I’m writing an essay about my parents and hearing this from my dad about my mom made me cry. 27 years of marriage.”
