My DH and I have been married for 53 years. good years. Never trouble in the marriage, just some lean years. four great kids and 7 grandkids. I give God the glory for that. Good marriages do not just happen. It takes work on both sides. unfortunatly these days, it's too easy to give up. I was blessed, I married my very best friend, and after 53 years, we still hold hands, makes our grandkids snicker. On our 50th, the kids gave us a great celebration. In his card, my son, said that the best gift we ever gave him was the sense of stability in our home. He never had to give one min. worry about our family ever breaking up. I guess that was the nicest thing he could have said.
Sherill, I am so sorry for your loss. it's so fresh that it must be hard to read these stories. I hope you know there will be lots of new prayers going up on your behalf in the next few months. These ladies are a great support group
