Just a retro picture of my mom and dad (1967) one year before I was born

My mom was 23, and my dad was 49. Yes, my dad was 26 years old when my mom was born. My dad lived in Clarkston and she was born in Clarkston. I told him once that he probably saw her in a store in her baby carrier. It's so weird thinking he could have seen her as a baby, and 18 years later started dating her. My grandmother and her six sisters told her that their marriage would never work because of the age gap. My mom was by my dad's side when he passed away thirty years after their wedding day. I have never seen a woman as strong and faithful as my mother. They made their marriage work, and I'm glad because that's why I'm here today. Age really does not matter if you are truly in love.
