[quote=Anonymous]My grandparents met on VJ Day.  My grandpa's brother accidentally shot his other brother while cleaning his gun (I kid you not).  My grandpa was in the Navy but went to visit his brother in the hospital when he was on leave.  My grandma was his brother's nurse.

My grandpa, the smartest man I've ever known, had the GI bill but didn't go to college because he unexpectedly had to take care of his mother.  Instead, he worked (as labor, not management) in a steel plant.  He put his wife, my grandma, through graduate school and then all three of his kids, one of them to Harvard.

So that was unnecessary background, but to answer your question, I've never seen two people more in love.  They put each other first in every possible way.  He told her every day that she was beautiful, what a good mother she was, how smart she was, etc.  I witnessed it.  My mom always told me that's how he always was, the entire time she was growing up.  And my grandma adored him the same way.

I was in the room when he died in 2000.  She was falling apart but she gathered some unbelievable strength at the end.  As he drifted away, she whispered to him memories of their life together (married 54 years).  The only part I caught was "and remember when our chilren were born."

They wrote love letters to each other the entire time he was in service.  Literaly dozens of them.  We weren't allowed to read them until after she passed away, which she did in 2014.  We read them the first Christmas after her funeral, all together as a family.  They were so beautiful - I can't read them without crying.[/quote]
