Today, is the 50th wedding anniversary of my Maman and Papa. Their names are Pauline and Jean Vergnes. They are 82 years old and 88 years old respectively. They have had an extraordinary life together. Today I will make them a simple dinner in honor of their simple but real life together. The writing is from a photograph taken at their wedding;
Still Life
(to Maman and Papa on the occasion
of their 50th wedding anniversary)
The photograph does not lie (in this instance). It cannot
hide your smiles nor the body language;
that tells you were made to be together (as one).
February 11th, 1960– way back then–
is, almost, just yesterday in the mind’s
snapshot of time...
A simple wedding, a simple reception
and yet such a wealth of life and love.
The moments, those voyages and the sheer adventures;
oh, to turn back the clock and start
once again...
