This afternoon, D and I plus the sister-in-law attended an official ceremony recognizing the parents’ 50 years marriage. Even though the event was held outdoors (one of the health measures), the mayor (yep, the man himself) managed to talk and chat with us for an entire hour.

Aside from the official ceremony, my parents-in-law also got several gifts from the city. What a lovely gesture, to reward and recognise couples who have gone through life together for decades. To appreciate these long standing relationships that serve as the foundation of a stable society.
