“This was taken in 1977 or 1978, according to my dad. My parents met in 1970 (or so) when my dad teasingly threw her into a ditch in her Sunday best. They fell in love when they were in their early-to-mid-teen years. They were married in 1979 and would’ve celebrated their 40th anniversary last year, but my mom died very unexpectedly. Still seems unreal — they were inseparable and loved each other like mad.”

The rest is history!”
