My parents on their snowy wedding day. (That’s my O’Malley grandfather, known to his grand-kids as “Pop”, sitting in the background. If you’d like to see how spiffy Pop was, take a look at this treasured photo of my O’Malley grandparents.)
A thoughtful day of love, gratitude and remembrance. I wrote about my parents’ romance (and other things) in this piece for Pixar Week, of all things.
I love my family.
What a great pic, between how carefully he is feeding her the cake to her look as if there was some inside joke between them about it all.
My dad looks so serious! They were happy to finally tie the knot, after meeting at that sock-hop in high school.
The Pixar article is great – enjoyed the re-read. I really think it is one of your best!
Paul – I really appreciate you saying that. It’s maybe the most personal thing I’ve ever written anywhere – ha! – and I was grateful for the opportunity to put it out there in that particular way.
Thanks again!
You’re welcome!
Off the topic, have you seen ‘Kumare’? I just watched it on Netflix and really liked it. Possibly the best documentary I have seen. I think it is kind of controversial but I found it very funny and having a lot of heart.

Paul – wow, I haven’t, but I just looked it up and it sounds right up my alley. Thanks for the tip – I’ll see if it’s streaming on Netflix.
What a great picture! Wow, you certainly look like your mom.
My husband and I share your parent’s anniversary date :) I looked at the picture first, and then noticed the date-now I think it might be an auspicious day to get married. We got married 22 years ago, we had snow too-it was also about -40°!
Oh wow, happy anniversary!!
