Tonight, I look back at my grandparents and their lives together. They have been together for almost 60 something years...and they still are in love with one another.
They have never been rich...had overly nice things. But they were happy. And thats ALL that has mattered. My grandfather tells of stories of him in the Korean War, and my grandmother always says how far she drove to see him, and how she was so nervous but did it just to see him when he was at Basic Training. Seems familiar right?
I have never been overly envious of anyone...but I am of their marriage and life. I inspire to be my grandparents...down to the core. They have never been perfect...but they've been happy and loving.
My grandparents had a HUGE hand in raising me, and I am forever greatful. They made me the person I am. I love them very much. I also inspire to have a marriage like them.
I never want me or Daniels love to dwindle away like they do in so many marriages. I want him to know I love him every day...no matter how tough the day, week, month, year may be.
I know I have many years for this to come and to figure out how to make a marriage work...but I want it to work..and work right. I want that love that never ends & I believe I have found it through and through. He (Daniel) will probably read this and roll his eyes and go you are so girly, but thats us working...him rolling his eyes...and me punching him and telling him to get over it.
Then I will get that look...the look of I will roll my eyes at you..but I love you no matter what...and thats..what makes a marriage work. Forever.
