I am thrilled to hear you tell this beautiful story, which, as you point out, has not always been a bed of roses. Every human relationship, be it a couple or a friendship, brings its sine waves, heh, heh, heh.
So was my parents' union, which they maintained until death, 50 years of formal marriage and the birth of three children, of whom I am the youngest.
I am happy to see them and feel them united, sharing their old age, as it should be. A hug is full of blessings and wishes for the many years of life you have left to walk hand in hand.
Having a partner for so long is a luxury in these times. We have a very good chance of reaching those fifty years like your parents did. Thank you very much for stopping by and for your good wishes dear friend @amigoponc. A big hug from Maracay.
