        <description><![CDATA[ It is indeed with great joy in our hearts that we celebrate our parents&amp;#39; 69 years of marriage. We could deny complete happiness, because we lost our brother José Maria Barros since 2009, and I last year. God spared my life, but despite all that, we only have to thank God for the communion, joy and health of our parents and our family. It is therefore blessing upon blessing for our lives. We know that not everyone has the privilege of celebrating so many years of marriage, but to God all the honor and glory, because the destiny of our lives belongs to Him alone. ]]></description>
