day no. 15,993 this particular patch of heavenly pasture

On this day in 1938 my father was born and on this day in 1977 my father married my mother. The earth was hanging in the heavens at this same place 84 years ago when my dad was born and brought into this world and it was at the same place 45 years ago when my parents were married. Of all the vast space available in all the heavens, God has chosen this patch of heavenly pasture to be the place of two events without which I would not now be writing this. 

Happy birthday, Dad!

Happy anniversary Mom and Dad!
