(Begin sappy tribute part)
Dearest Mother and Father,
You have been married for 30 years now. You've been through the good times and the bad times, the sweet times and the sour times, and especially the stinky times since Willie started playing football.
Thank you for being such great parents an teaching us children the things that children need to know to be good, successful children. I wish you the best on this 30th year and I wish you 30 more to come.
That moment in your lives will come when you are both old, feeble and a grand 82 years of age. At that point, your oldest child Elizabeth will be 58, your middle child Haley will be 56 and your bouncing baby boy will be 41. Willie at 41? Yes, I know it's difficult to imagine. Can you make it? Set the goal today and you can achieve anything!!! Plan for the future. Live out your dreams.
As a final note, may I give you some words of advice as you hearken into your more experienced years. Stay clean. Brush your teeth often.
Eat healthily. Stay active. Don't be too proud to use the walker if it will help you from falling. Please don't fall. Keep your mind wipper-snapped and sharp. Let your hair go gray, but always comb it nicely . . . and finally . . . .
Okay, I'm done! Happy Anniversary!

Haley (and Annie, even though I'm not funny enough to ever write something like this.
