In Sickness And In Health: Couple Fighting Cancer Celebrates Their 42nd Anniversary
By Mike-Ross
The classic wedding vows often include the timeless promise, "in sickness and in health." While it might seem distant and abstract when we are young and in love, it becomes profoundly meaningful as we journey through life. This sentiment is beautifully exemplified by Celina Broyles' parents. In November 2022, Celina shared a touching video capturing her father's heartwarming surprise for her mother on their 42nd wedding anniversary. At that time, both of Celina's parents were battling cancer, and her father was particularly unwell, often lacking the strength to engage in many activities.
Amidst her father's illness, her mother assumed that he might have forgotten their special day. However, to her tearful surprise, he entered the living room with flowers and a thoughtful present. The tenderness and love they displayed for each other in that moment were truly heart-melting. This heartwarming story reminds us of the enduring power of love and the profound impact of those simple but significant vows, "in sickness and in health."
“Together we have it all,” Celina wrote. “I’m so thankful for my parents. We grew up poor and didn’t know it because of the LOVE we had growing up. They got married at 18yrs old and had all five of us at 26. Mom and Dad we appreciate the sacrifices, and giving up so much for us. This is what you call love!”
The moment Celina’s parents shared together is even more poignant knowing that her dad passed away this spring. We’re so glad the adoring couple got to celebrate their anniversary one last time.
