Friends since they were twelve - married for 51 years....

I talked to Lollie's husband yesterday - to see how he was doing.  He said living without her is one the hardest things he has ever done. 

He has found around the house - notes written by her -  on how to do things - where things stood in the process......not because she knew what was happening - as reminders to herself - but she is helping him with the notes - and I can so picture her handwriting.

He told me the sweetest thing....he said "we were married for 51  years - but she has been my friend and playmate since we were both 12."  (She died at age 71)

What a testimony of love and marriage.

If only everyone viewed marriage as sacred! I bet they shared beautiful years together! We need to teach our youth about this beautiful gift called marriage. A loving arrangement! Sadly, many are taking it lightly.
