40 years ago today, at a tiny church in Keyesport, IL, my parents David and Nancy Minder Chew vowed “’til death to us part,” and they apparently meant it. My brother, sister and I had the blessing of growing up with the security of a godly home with parents in a loving, committed relationship.
Thanks, mom and dad — I know that because of you, because of the love and unwavering fidelity you modeled, I also enjoy a wonderful, loving marriage and our daughter is living under the same blessing I did.
We didn’t have cable growing up, we bought clothes at Kmart, and my sister and I shared a room. The childish jealousy I sometimes felt for my friends has been replaced with an adult appreciation of something far more valuable — a strong family lead by a godly parents. It’s priceless.
Happy Anniversary Mom & Dad! You are loved!
