[...] When I really appreciated blogging the most was when I started going through some tough times. This past year has proved to be one of the most difficult years of my life. I started out 2010 with the loss of my beloved grandmother followed by the passing of my wonderful grandfather only 8 months later. They were married 68 years and I credit them with teaching me the true value of love, loyalty and, in essence, the very meaning of ’til death do us part. [...]

Wow, very inspiring! Even though it was a time of loss it shows how connected your grandparents were. I can only hope to have that kind of relationship with my boyfriend some day…

Thanks Aimee,
Lauren

I’m so sorry to hear about your grandma, Jack.

How wonderful that your grandparents had a 75 year marriage. That is truly incredible and inspirational.

That was very sweet and made me think of my grandmother. She died on March 24th, my wedding anniversary. She and my grandfather were married for 75 years. I learned a lot from them.

I hope that your grandfather finds things to smile about and that you continue to have great memories of your grandmother.

I LOVE your comment that that is the type of painthat only the luckiest people will ever know and totally concur.

I know this isn’t the same, but when my Dad died I one of my friends said – the only way this could hurt less is if you loved him less. That one kept me up at night! But I realized that I wouldn’t give up one moment of the good stuff for it to hurt less to lose him (which really helped my OCD personality in a sense of control).

Thanks for sharing

This is such a sweet and heartwarming post. I so enjoyed reading it. I have been married for almost 17 years and I hope we will have many years together like your grandparents.

Visiting from SITS. Hope to see you at my place soon.

Oh, this is so sad and my heart breaks for your grandfather. This happened to my beloved grandfather and then he lived for many more years, but a part of him was always missing.
