My grandmother’s parents (Daddy’s side) thought Grandma Ruth was too young to get married so they whisked her from Kansas City, MO to Falls River, KS. Grandpa Lew followed and finally Nana and Papa gave in.. they were married in 1923 in Kansas City. Three kids, and they were married 54 years when Grandma Ruth died in 1977. They’d actually made it to my high school graduation in June that year. First child of eldest boy graduates, my family was like that. Grandpa lived another 9 years. He missed her so much…
My parents met over the back fence of my Uncle Jerry’s house (Granny and Mom lived next to him). They’d been plotting, jokingly they said, to get them together. 13 days later, Daddy asked Mama to marry him and they were married on July 13, 1958. I never believed they chose that date coincidentally ;) Mama left us in 2014 and Daddy in 2017..
