I’d like to, but I really can’t brag.

It’s been a lot of years.

But compared to them, we have a long way to go.

That lovely lady on the left? It’s her anniversary picture; I still carry it in my wallet. Kathy and I have been married now for 45 years.

I know to some, including me, that’s quite a milestone. But compared to John and Ann of Connecticut, we have a long way to go. They have been married for 83 years!

He’s 104 and she’s 100. I thought doing a story about them on this, my anniversary weekend, might be inspiring to some people. Mostly it’s mind blowing to all of us. Listen to the segment Liz and I did on The Optimistic Spin. And there are some pictures of John and Ann below.

Meanwhile, I am truly grateful to God for my wife and our marriage. And do you think perhaps after another 38 years for us, some bragging might be in order? I do!

Below is the most recent video I could find – from 2014.
