My parent made it 63 years before Dad died last year. They met at a church picnic and started holding hands there (Mom didn’t want to let go in case some other girl got the same idea of wanting to get to know him) and they didn’t let go until the end.

For men of a certain era, they just didn’t do that. Too bad. They missed out on a lot.

I think we sometimes concentrate too much on having to hear the words and don’t notice the actions that say so much.

Hubby showed it in his actions all the time. We made it to nearly 55 years.

We need both – the actions and the words because they confirm each other.
