seventy years
I know I’m supposed to write about food and Santa Clarita but I just have to share the milestone my grandparents will be celebrating next Sunday night, December 27th.
You see, on that day, 70 years ago, my grandmother Belle married my grandfather Seymour in New York. That is right. They will be celebrating their 70th wedding anniversary in one week.
Both grew up in New York in poor families. My grandmother was not my great-grandmother’s first choice. They struggled through the Great Depression, my grandfather’s serving during WWII, and antisemitism in the aerospace industry. My grandfather was a mechanic and my grandmother a librarian for most of their working life.
They had two children, my uncle Larry and my mom, Sandi. Larry has four children and seven grandchildren. My mom had two children, my brother Adam and myself. Mom has five grandchildren.
My grandmother is a breast cancer survivor but overall they are both in excellent health.
Belle and Hank, Dawn's grandparents, celebrate their 70th Anniversary
Happy Anniversary Belle and Hank. I love you both down to the bottom of my heart and feel fortunate to have such a inspiring marriage to aspire towards.
