How I Met Your Mother

Summer 1957. A 17-year-old boy moved alone from a rural town in Louisiana to Los Angeles. On his first Sunday there, he went to church. Two seats down from him sat a teenage girl trying to cool herself with a broken church fan. Being a gentleman, he offered her his fan.

And that’s how my parents met.

My mommy and daddy when they were starting out.

If he were still alive, today would be their 61st wedding anniversary.
