smiled at Kate as she blushed.  
    “Thank you Dad,” Kate put her hand on his at the table, “and you look quite handsome yourself!”
    Stan looked at the kids, “You know Andrew and Gracie, your mom and dad have a relationship similar to what your grandma and I had. We loved each other and were committed to each other through good times and bad. Always remember that there’s one person out there who God has made for you, be patient and don’t settle for lesser treasure. You will not regret it—just ask your dad.”
    The kids giggled.  
    “I always want to celebrate our anniversary here together, as a family, for as long as I can.”
    “Definitely, Dad,” Jack said as he reached under the table for a box. “We have something for you.”
    Stan’s old and seasoned face formed a smile as he eyed the box. “You guys didn’t have to do that,” he smiled at Kate and leaned over towards her, “I know you probably put this together, knowing that my son has zero thoughtfulness when it comes to gifts.”
    Jack scrunched his eyebrows and gave Stan a dirty look.  
    “You deserve it Dad,” Kate said, laughing at Jack.  
    Stan slowly opened the crisp white paper around the box and removed the red bow. He found a beautifully framed picture of Genie and himself on their wedding day. They were standing on each side of the golden spike at the entrance of Sleeping Beauty Castle . Walt Disney, Stan’s best man was on his left and Kurt Russell was standing next to Walt. On the other side was Genie’s sister. It was a classic picture, in a fairy tale setting, capturing their unending love.  
    Stan smiled as he gazed at Genie’s image, and a tear started to trickle down his cheek.
    “This means so much to me, thank you very much,” Stan got up to hug Kate as she stood. He put his hand on Jack’s shoulder and then sat back down to address the family, “Listen, I don’t know how much longer I have on this planet, but I have a special gift for you, son.”
    “Dad, please, let’s not do the end of life speech in front of the kids?” Jack whispered to Stan.  
    Stan smiled and continued, “Our wedding day was the best day of my life, the second best day was when Jackie was born.” The kids chuckled when they heard their grandpa call their dad “Jackie”.
    “We’ve celebrated this day together ever since Jack was a kid,” Stan continued, “and now that Jack has his own family, I want to continue to celebrate this day for as long as I live, with all of you. And I expect you to continue the tradition when I’m gone.”  
    Everyone smiled in agreement.  
    “I still have some pull in this place, so I’ve reserved this table for us here at the Bayou indefinitely, every year on this day, so please promise me you will honor this tradition.”
    “Sure Dad,” Jack smiled at him.  
    “I want our love to be an example to all of you, for generations, and I hope you can use it as a guide for your own lives.”
    Stan turned to Jack, “I want you to have this, son, something I hope you will keep on you at all times, and cherish it, like I’ve cherished it for so many years.” Stan pulled a box out of his pocket and handed it to Jack.  
    Jack held the box in his hand, glanced over at Kate, and grinned. Kate flashed an excited smile at Jack because gift-giving thrilled her to no end.  
    He slowly opened the box to reveal a golden wedding band. Jack looked at it and was shocked. He looked back up at Stan.  
    “Dad, is this—”
    “Yes, it is son. It’s your mom’s wedding band, I had it restored just for you, I want you to have it. Keep it on you for good luck, and always remember your mom.”
    Jack didn’t know what to say, a small tear formed in the corner of his eye, but he tried to fight it off so the kids wouldn’t see him cry.
    “Dad, I don’t know what to say?”
    “You don’t need to say anything, Jack. Just don’t ever lose it or I will find you, and beat you down—and you know I’m still
