Story: My hubby and I started dating when he was a Navy man of 19 years old stationed in Virginia Beach, VA while I was 17 and living at home 6 hours away. He came home every other weekend. It was hard only seeing him for 48 hours every 14 days. I got to spend a week with him at the beach … that’s what my painting is about. We got engaged on Christmas Eve a year later and married the year after that. At 19 and 21 we had a whole lot of learning about marriage to do. Our 20’s brought 2 sons and our family was complete. Kids grow up and move away. We survived an empty nest. We survived health issues and the normal ups and downs of life. Our sons got married and brought os 5 grandchildren. Through it all our devotion hasn’t wavered. We love each other more today after 44 years of marriage than we ever did. This is my definition of what love is.
