“My aunt gave me this picture of my grandparents. They met on a blind date. He proposed 3 weeks later… but wouldn’t marry her until he got out of the army.
She waited 4 years for him. Four years later they were married, and had 7 kids! When he retired, he would set the breakfast table every morning and would wait to eat until she woke up.
When he got sick with Alzheimer’s and we would watch him, I remember him asking us to write down his address. My mom wrote it down on a napkin. He folded and stuck it in his back pocket.
He would then periodically pull it out and check, because he ‘couldn’t miss dinner’.
Love is beautiful.”
