Well, yes, I can! I imagine and I hope and I pray that Keith and I are as lucky as they are. The sweetest part is that my grandparents are still as madly in love as the day that they got married---that right there is something to celebrate.
We live in a society where sadly, more than half of marriages end in divorce. My grandparents are from a generation where divorce just wasn't an option. They certainly have not had a perfect 58 years, but they stuck together through the hard times, and enjoyed the good. But you know what? That's life. I know that marriage isn't going to be all fairy tales and rainbows. I'm sure there will be things that Keith and I will face that will completely throw us. But I believe in our love and I believe in our commitment.
My grandparents, even though they live 6000 miles away, are a huge inspiration to me. They played a very large role in helping me become the person that I am. If I am blessed to have half of the amazing life they have had, I will consider myself truly lucky.
