“Let’s go fishin’!”
January 16, 2012 by Ronn Ives, under What Really Matters.
My Grandparents, Russ and Zora, were married on this day in 1924. They remained married for 72 years. Seventy two years…
I was sitting around with them one day down in Florida and asked how they’d managed to pull that off.
They paused, looked at each other, silently…
( … I’m sitting there waiting for the Key Truth to Marriage… advice from my Elders… the Wise… )
Grandpa turned back to me and said:
“We have no idea.”
I laughed, everyone shrugged their shoulders and laughed, and on went the day…
Facts: they loved each other, could not (or would not) imagine life without the other, and they worked and played hard. They CHOSE to be (and stay) partners.
End of discussion.
Now let’s get on with Life… or, as they would’ve put it: “Let’s go fishin’!”
