Sue & Bob Edwards



Part 1 MEET THE PARENTS

The day I received the new revised version of the MEET THE PARENTS video, I had the feeling that meeting Carol and Bob the parents of the "deelishus" woman our son had chosen to marry was not going to be an ordinary experience.
The very first day we met, Carol and Robin had invited future mother-in-law to join them for the wedding dress hunt at Kleinfeld's in Brooklyn. Within a few hours, Carol (almost a stranger) was in my arms and we were teary as we gazed at Robin, wide eyed and beautiful when she found "THE DRESS".Needless to say we bonded and there was great joy!!

Part 2 MEET THE FAMILY
June 24, 2004, ...the Kogons, the Cohens, the Deutschs and many others made the voyageup to Saratoga to celebrate Robin and Dave's engagement and soon to be wedding.
On the way to Saratoga Carol became critically ill....and the joy and celebrating halted while family and friends arrived and stayed with Bob and I to sit vigil and support Carol, Bob , Robin and Andy. It was then that we learned the true meaning of unconditional love and devotion. We spent hours, days, weeks, talking, eating, praying for Carol's recovery..and she did.!!!!!

The silver lining to this very difficult time is that we are friends and family for life (not just the in-laws). We know the family stories..the jokes, who the 100 cousins and great-great-aunts are , the "buthcher-block" etc..etc..We have inherited a beautiful , amazing family that we love and cherish.

We look forward to many joyous shared experiences and hopefully travels.

Carol...you are a sister, a soulmate!!

Bobby.....you are 1 in 10 million!!! We knew from the start we always needed our sneakers on to run, go , do , try , read...you name it. You keep us going . The human bionic computer man.

REFLECT....REJOICE ..AND ENJOY YOUR 60TH BIRTHDAYS !!!!!! , Love Sue


i hope i don't echo sue's comments but if so, it's one of the privlieges of already being 60.
after a brief but most enjoyable first meeting in the big apple which included dinner, a jazz club, a dinner for breakfast, and a joint purchase of failed mega lotto tickets we concluded our first meeting.
if i recall correctly (again another privilege of being 60) our 2nd visit wasn't all that it was supposed to be. it turned into an extended visit by the entire family as carol took ill in saratoga. because of the great outcome, we experienced something that most future in-laws never do - we met and fell in love with a whole new set of relatives (who insisted i cook for them every night - just kidding marty, judy, mark & tova, dennis, morris). if not for these unusual events we probably would only have a short passing meeting with all of them at the wedding in ashville. to wrap this up being 60 is simple - you have to show up and whatever miracle it took - WE ALL MADE IT! have a great birthday and take it from someone whose been there, 60 ain't bad
love bob
