This is my mamaw and papaw. I look at them, and I can't help but smile because of how much I truly do love them. I just got back from visiting my mamaw, and I just had to come and write this post. After school today I decided it was a perfect afternoon to go to my mamaw's house. I see her every Sunday at church, but I never just go over there, just to visit. Life tends to get the best of me and everything becomes a whirlwind and I forget to take time to do these kinds of things. So I went, and we talked and talked about everything under the sun. We started talking about how she and my papaw got married and just marriage in general. One thing that she said stood out to me and I couldn't help but share it.
"There's nothing greater than the satisfaction of just having each other."
My grandpa has inherited emphysema. They are both so strong, my papaw enduring the disease every day of his life and my mamaw supporting him the whole way through. They still love each other so much. I pray to God that I have a marriage like theirs, one that continues to grow every day. I pray that I have strength and optimism like my papaw's, and never ceasing love like my mamaw's. They truly are my inspiration, they make me strive to be a better person. I just love them so much.
This is wonderful, Bekah. A great tribute to both of them. I'm glad they've set a great example for you. Marriage is sometimes a tough road, but well worth the effort!
