We will be married 64 years in October and we knew each other three years before that. I just turned 16 and he was 18 and in the Navy when we met. We had to grow up and win the war and then we married. Told my mother I met the man I am going to marry the first day I saw him in person. My brother gave him my address for someone to write to and that is how we met. My mother laughed, of course.
We are both in good health and live in our own home and keep busy. The door is always open for anyone who needs help and we walk to church every Sunday.
Our answer to anyone how we managed to live together this long, we both agree, love the other person more than yourself.
