My Mom and Dad. They've been married 51 years and still hold hands.
My dad lost his dad when he was 7 and lost his stepfather when my dad was 15. He went to High school at night to earn money to take care of my Grandmother during the day!
Dad is the first of his line that didn't have a degree. He had to work his but off to fed my Grandmother and a few years later my Mom.
His skills are many. The '40 behind him they've owned it since 1961. I came home from the hospital in it. Everything but paint and interior in the car he did ( he made a back seat for the car for grandkids)
I love and respect both of my folks! I have only seen them angry at each other a handfull of times. Both have worked their tails off to get to middle management. and they're enjoying a good life in retirement. 3 kids, 9 grandkids.
My Dad's great grandfather.
