My my how time flies!
Yesterday I celebrated my 75th wedding anniversary. Alone but yet I celebrated the wonderful day that my marriage to Elbert began. He's been gone 14 years now and the pain of loss lingers on.

We were just kids - me 16, him 20. Didn't know our head from a hole in the ground! But, we loved, we learned, we perserved, we survived and we thrived. And, what a journey it was! I wouldn't have traded it anything else in this world.
At times, yesterday, I felt sad, down in the dumps but I also felt so honored to have spent all those 60 years and 3 weeks with him by my side.

You may have been young when you married, Latane, but your marriage stood the test of time -- 60 years+ is quite an accomplishment!

ReplyDeleteWe got married at 16 and 19. If we make 'til next June, 30, we'll have 60 years behind us, so I needn't tell how old I am! I've enjoyed reading your blog --- I am a Virginian myself! All 75 year's worth!!
Happy Anniversary!
