Today would have been my parents 50th Wedding Anniversary, if dad had lived.  

After work today, I stopped by mom's house while taking a walk.  I did it to see how she was doing, and she was her old self.  We talked, we laughed, she made tacos for us, later, she's going over to a graduation cookout with the people next door (they invited her a few weeks ago, the wife graduated college today), we made plans for tomorrow.

Even if it was bothering her, mom has never been one to show her sadness.  If it does upset her, she'll keep that down until she's alone, perhaps tonight, in bed, and then let it out.  That's just the way she is.  I hope she's not too upset.  Perhaps she's just sad.

At any rate, Happy Almost 50th, Mom & Dad.
