Today would have been my parent's 69th wedding anniversary. They both died in the same year, about a decade ago, even though my mom was 10 years younger than my dad. She just gave up living after he was gone. The story goes that she caught him at the pump, bringing a tin cup to him to fetch his drink of water, after milking cows. He had bought the farm across the road from her parent's farm, she was 16 when they met. He was a bashful guy, her sisters claimed she was the aggressive one. ❤️Mom & Dad.
