it's about legacy

Meet my Grandma & Grandpa!

Their legacy lives on as a shining example of how to love well:

  • She was the only girl he ever asked out.
  • He was so nervous he almost stood her up - instead they were married months later.
  • They lived in the the same home for 55 years where they raised four children.
  • They loved cruises and traveled the world together one cruise at a time.
  • A framed black + white photo of them on their wedding day sat on their mantle my entire life.
  • The last time I saw Grandma at home she picked up that framed wedding photo and pointed to Grandpa. "Isn't he handsome?!" she said. And Grandpa blushed. 


By all accounts they led ordinary lives, but their love was 
And that                                                                         bore witness to it all.
