Love, Thy Name Is Arrowsmith

[filkertom]

Two weeks ago, Percy and Florence Arrowsmith celebrated their eightieth wedding anniversary, earning spots in the Guiness Book of World Records for longest marriage and oldest aggregate age of a married couple. She's 100. He died today at the age of 105.

I think this needs to be a thread for any true, uplifting tales of love you might have handy.

docwebster's right - wow.

(Sadly, I can't help but wonder if she'll last the year, now....)

My guess would be no.

My father's aunt died a few year's ago from lung cancer due to her smoking. She was 91 I think. Her husband who was 95 died about 4 months later. Just seems to be one of those things.

I miss her. She was LOTS of fun. I remember at her funeral my grandmother was mad at my father for something- I don't remember what- and my mother turned to me and my father after my grandmother walked away and said "I can just see Aunt Mae looking down right now going 'Ha Ha I got you in trouble!'"
