If she still has that GOLD BAND that you were so proud to give her, you are the lucky one.
In my case SHE ( SWMBO) I jest, has being wearing that gold band for over 57 years, and will continue to do so, until the big fella up above, calls time out.
Yes I also am one of those more lucky ones, 49 years married but the first 10 or so years was not home much, on the road transporting something over our great land with the truck.
Its something special to be this long together and I am hoping for lots more.
