Dear mom and dad,
It's pretty amazing that two people can meet and then decide to share their lives together.
In this day and age, it's almost unheard of. But you two have done it.
Imagine at this moment, when you have the whole world at your fingertips, and you can buy a ticket anywhere and you can imagine a life in any country, to commit to living and loving one person, that ONE person for the rest of your life and the rest of theirs. Well, whichever comes first I guess. But you have done it.
This past weekend I was lucky enough to spend it with the two people who have shown me kindness, patience and unconditional love since I was a baby. They are an inspiration. A blessing. Truly they encompass the beauty of what love can be.
Not just in marriage, as I'm not a fan of marriage. I don't believe in the system which has corrupted love and partnership to a mere bank loan and showmanship of wealth. I do believe in celebrating life with your chosen partner and sharing that wealth will all the people you love. If marriage is a part of that then so be it.
I don't think that because you're tied and taxed and tamed by marriage isn't necessary worthy of love. Love will find you and grow with you and make you a better person. As my parents have shown me over the years. No matter how much you love someone, no amount of money can keep the work that is needed and involved to maintain a relationship. Love will hurt and scab and heal you.
Thank you mom and dad for raising me in a world that holds no boundaries of what love can be. It was the first reunion with our east coast cousins. Austin and Vicky! You guys rock. Let's do it again in Aug 2016.
