Married 70 years

Hi Everyone

 Happy Monday

♥

Yesterday we  were at a

 Celebration of Life

 get together for handsome husbands Uncle 

He lived to the great age of 91 and 

was married to the same women

 for 70 years

What I learned from watching this amazing couple
 is how
 kind they were to each other
there was always a sense of mutual respect and thoughtfulness

They got married when she was 16 and he was 21

and both said their

 {Love}

 for each other grew stronger with every passing year 

They had 3 children and many grandchildren as well as great grand children 

They were passionate about life 

and enjoyed

camping, fishing, hiking, walking, 

dancing, and most of all family 

and friends

They were alone together when he passed she was holding his hand

She said that was a gift he gave her 

 and she was grateful

What an amazing inspiration 

if you read the marriage vows

it says

 do you take this person to have and to hold

 for richer or poorer 

in sickness and in health

in good times and bad

 forsaking all others

 till death do you part

The Celebration of his Life 

was filled with stories of a well lived life 

shared with the women he Loved

until the day he died

this couple honored those vows for 70 years !!!

Now that's what I call a real life

romantic

 {Love}

 story

romantic saying for today

"I shall Love you with my whole heart for my whole life"
