Woman Married for 30 Years Smiles at Photographer



After 30 years
It appears
All my fears
All her tears
Were worth it.


We spent our 30th Anniversary in Yosemite watching for signs of hope, signs of the spirit, things that represented a world larger than the life we have created with each other. What an irony - with all the grandeur of Yosemite around us, we found them in the small things, the delicate black and white Monarch and the eager Robin. 


Maybe we needed the reminder that even in the world of marriage, its the small things -- the kind word, the laundry folded, the mess picked up -- that contain the largest messages.

We still enjoy being together. We're friends. It doesn't have to be Yosemite. Sometimes we rendezvous in the frozen food section of Save Mart. 

Still, it's hard to beat lunch at The Ahwahnee Hotel, and a quick hike around the valley floor. Celebrate with us!
