I wish I had taken their picture.
I went to visit old friends who have been married for 72 years.
He is 98 , looks 65 and is still a community volunteer!
Still driving her around town too.
He proudly says he takes no prescription medications- only Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and baby aspirin.
Imagine?
She is 92 and beautiful – elegantly coiffed with painted nails, gorgeous clothes, and a smile that transforms her face to youth.
They are both beautiful.
I love talking to them, or rather, just listening to their stories of a lifetime together.
Oh, there are the negatives like lost hearing, balance and reading ability.
But they both offer this advice:
“Do not dwell on the things you cannot do. Be grateful for the things you can.”
And they are truly my inspiration.
