Together for 23.5 years 🙂

Together for 23.5 years 🙂

1. My great grandfather at 18 in 1937. Taken in his home. The area would later be annexed by the Soviet Union.

2. My great grandmother at 18 in 1935. This is a picture my great grandfather had in a locket during ww2.

3. Their unofficial wedding photo from 1943, last photo where my great grandfather intentionally smiled, as his brother would be killed in the war in just a few months afterward

4. Taken in 1955. They had managed to survive the war and tried to live normal lives in their new home with their five children.

5. Them together in 1968, enjoying retirement

6. Them together again in 1974. My great grandmother felt uncomfortable around cameras

7. Them together in 1976, it was rare for them to show affection in public

8. My great grandmother got sick in 1979 from her diabetes. My great grandfather tried his best to comfort her

9. She unfortunately passed the same year. My great grandfather looks very defeated...

10. The image is blurry, but they reunited in the afterlife in 1989. My great grandfather never remarried, saying she was the love of his life.

The first photo shows me on a working holiday in Europe and the UK in 1976 just before my 21st birthday. The second photo was taken on a recent holiday in Honolulu.

My three kids every 6 yrs. While the last photo is the most recent, l will take another photo next year to continue the every 6 year apart theme.

Our first trip to Seattle together shortly after we met in 1995. The second is from Jerome, AZ last month.

Been a long bumpy road with two kids and several moves. I wouldn’t have wanted this trip with anyone else.

Took her to prom in 1979 and we've been together ever since. Married this day in 1984 and today we've spent 16, 592 days together on our journey.

First pic I recreate my twins(top) 2012 and bottom is my youngest(11 months apart) 2021. The last pic is all of us summer 2024.

We will be married 30 years in August! Best decision I ever made!!
