Forty-four years this coming June l8th! I was a month past my 20th birthday and my hubby was 2l - what babies we were thinking back! Yikes now you can figure out what old cronies we are!!!
Married my High School sweetheart, Nov. 27, 1970. Wow, will be 39 years. Been some good ones (mostly) but I can honestly say the hardest started when he went out on disability almost 4 years ago. He was heartbroken he had to give up a job he loved, and was angry because he was ill and it was the hardest work I ever did to try to maintain what we had had all those years. It's better, but still working on it. He has come to grips with the fact he can never work again, so that was a big step in the right direction for his peace of mind. After 5 kids, and now 12 grandchildren, I can honestly say I would do it all over again, even knowing what some of the things I would have to go through again . . .it really has been a wild crazy ride, but I just love the guy. It affected our income too, dramatically, so that has been an added stress, but you can't take it with you, so why worry!!! We have a roof over our heads and food on the table, and I have my alpacas!! Life is good!!
