Le Quart Du Siècle * The Quarter Century

Voilà vingt-cinq ans que mes parents sont mariés.

Vu le déclin du mariage de nos jours, je reconnais le miracle qu'est ce fait.

Et je remercie Dieu d'être tout simplement mon Dieu.

The majority of people I know don't actually have married parents.

Majority.

Woah! That's a lot. [Forgive statement of the somewhat obvious!]

This very topic has cropped up in a number of convos with friends and I've been exhorted to appreciate this blessing.

A quarter of a century. That's how long my parents have been joined in matrimony.

We thank God.
