Rating: 5 out of 5

I received this from the author to read and review. This is a short story with a beautiful message.  Mitchell Parker is enjoying his 40th anniversary at a restaurant, just like the other 39 he joyed at the same restaurant. While there, he sees the daughter of a friend with a male companion. While watching the couple, Mitchell reminisces on the life he has lived with his own spouse, remembering how his wife and he met, how they enjoyed their family and life. The story helps his realize just what a wonderful gift he has on his 40th anniversary. Therein lies a lesson for the reader, who, like Mitchell, may be at his 40th (or any other) anniversary. The author has conveyed a deep level of commitment through lasting love in a few short pages.
