Hey, Mom! Talking to My Mother #1247 (SoD #3468) - Everything in its Right Place - Parents' 66th Wedding Anniversary
Hi Mom,
I was thinking a couple of weeks ago how a thing I gained from both of you was the need to have everything "just so."
Everything in its right place.
Hey, isn't that a song?
So, I was unloading the dishwasher and cleaning up the kitchen to make the coffee, which is something I do every night, and I was putting all the things where they should be, and if I found something out of place, I moved it.
I got this tendency from you, Mom.
Then, I was getting the things out for bed time: my water and CBD gummy, dog treats, books I take upstairs every night (my Kindle and Tao te Ching), and I realized that this is just like both of you. This setting out things for bed time is EXACTLY what Dad did every night for 15 years of caring for you, Mom.
But often you, Mom, would set out all your things for your day the night before, just as I often do.
Probably lots of people share these compunctions and organizational systems, but they are dear to me because they have been gained from you, Mom, and from Dad.
And so, I dedicate this song and this post to you and Dad, Mom, on the date of your 66th wedding anniversary.
In this case, "Parents" is a proper noun for MY parents, and so it conforms to the rule for proper nouns which is just an apostrophe after the "s" unlike a common noun.
However, it also fits the rule for a plural as My Parents are two people, and so the word is plural.
Much like the dogs' treats, this is my Parents' 66th wedding anniversary.

This is a re-upload of a now-deleted, fan-created music video that impacted me deeply. I hope it does the same for you.
A poignant comment from the original video:
"We all try to control our little worlds.
We all come up with plans for our future, and we try to stay on track with those plans.
But life just happens, and it can blow everything we thought our life would be out of the water in a blink.
Nothing is ever really in its right place.
Yet, we never stop trying to put things 'right.'
We pick up pieces of our old, broken plans and we try to build new ones, over and over, totally at the mercy of our own chaotic little worlds."

Hey, Mom! Talking to My Mother #1181 (SoD 1641) - 61st Wedding Anniversary - Marjorie and Robert Tower
Hi Mom,
Special Friday edition of HEY MOM. No Throwback yesterday, technically, but this is a Throwback, right?
Here's a collection of content from previous August 16th and my parents wedding anniversary.
I have to remember that their years married is +4 my age or just remember that they were married in 1958.
As I look back on my posts, I think I made an early error in the "days ago" tally, and so it may be off by one. I think the error occurred in the first month in which I just calculated days ago by subtracting four (the Fourth of July) from the current date. Since then, I have just kept track. However, I started the HEY MOM FEATURE two days after you died, Mom, so the current HEY MOM count while I was doing daily HEY MOMs should always be two under the days ago. Looking back through my archive (randomly chose #508), it appears that I corrected the discrepancy. Thus, I suspect that my days ago count is accurate.
Hey, guess what? There's a days ago calculator. My count is right on!

Date difference from Jul 4, 2015 to Aug 16, 2019
I can only imagine what your marriage would have been like had you lived Mom. I think you would have made it to 70 years. Hard to imagine as I creep up on just 10 years.
The 57th wedding anniversary came around just 43 days after your death, Mom.
Here's all of that post and then some of last year's, from 2018.
We all miss you, Mom.
Hey, Mom! Talking to My Mother #42 - wedding anniversary
Hi Mom, This is Dad's post on his Facebook wall today in honor of your wedding anniversary today (1958-2015).
I can think of nothing more fitting, eloquent, or beautiful to share today. So just this...
I know Marjorie likes this, too.
Have someone give you a kiss, and tell you that I love you.
Talk to you tomorrow, Mom.

NEW (written 1708.27 and 1907.04) NOTE on time: I am now in the same time zone as Google! So, when I post at 10:10 a.m. PDT to coincide with the time of your death, Mom, I am now actually posting late, so it's really 1:10 p.m. EDT. But I will continue to use the time stamp of 10:10 a.m. to remember the time of your death, Mom. I know this only matters to me, and to you, Mom. Dropped "Talk to you tomorrow, Mom" in the sign off on 1907.04. Should have done it sooner as this feature is no longer daily.
