Mariana’s Story

Site created on January 21, 2017

Hello Everyone
Well, big changes call for even bigger changes! After much thought…decided to make the transition to updates on a Caringbridge sight rather than on my Facebook. I had actually created this page when mom had her last big medical experience a couple years ago. I just couldn’t make that first entry for some reason…too many experiences with Caringbridge sites of friends or family that ended in ways I wasn’t sure I was ready to feel. But, then on the flip side, I also followed many sites that ended in a different way. Either way our journey goes, and to be bluntly honest, I do not posses that magic 8 ball that will accurately and precisely give me that answer…this time around, this time feels right to transition here. So, from now on, I will update here and hopefully, from time to time, get mom to post as well! I will always post the link on my Facebook wall. You also can sign up for notifications as well. We appreciate your support and kindness, mom is so blessed and so loved ❤️

Journal entry by Mandi Kyllo-Lunde

Sooooooo….I really wanted to share that it is anniversary week for these two! And it’s a BIG one!!!!!  December 15, 1973 was a winter wonderland wedding for Big Mac and Mariana! 50 years! Wow! 

As much as I would love to celebrate these two and their 50th wedding anniversary coming up in a few days…. We are choosing to respect both of their wishes with no big hoopla…it is also much safer for mom this way as well. It has been a long fall for mom as she has been recovering from a lingering wound on her foot. While I am happy to announce that it is finally healed after months of attentive wound changes and doctor visits, she hasn’t been out and about and around people much. With cold, flu and all sorts of nasty other bugs out there right now, it just is better to keep it on the down low…people wise. BUT I fully give you the green light to fill their mailbox with congratulations and love! 50 years! That is an incredible accomplishment and worthy of a little mail celebration! So, if you have their address, I am sure they would love a card! If you don’t have their address, here it is!

Time to celebrate Mr. and Mrs. McDonald on their 50th wedding anniversary! ❤️
