45 years ago tonight

I remember one cold winter day in our little apartment. Couldn't afford heat, had one potato, and one package of oatmeal between us for dinner.
We worked hard, and struggled through those years. Looking back, I wouldn't change a thing.

Todd been there and I can appreciate your story. I remember when a 2 pound chunk of bologna stuffed with cloves was Christmas dinner. Like you say many high mountains and deep valleys to overcome but after 56 years every one of them made us stronger and more determined and we also wouldn't trade them for a moment, which is much easier to say in hindsight then while experiencing it. Stay true. Happy anniversary and a very Merry Christmas.

And I can bet y'all did not ask the Nanny State to bail you out. Many in the current generation need to learn that.
