High school sweethearts, will be married 50 years in August. The last two years have been the hardest losing our oldest son to suicide.

Two high school band geeks on a band trip to Toronto. Never noticed this very hot guy sitting a few rows ahead of me on the bus. Decided that I needed to get to know this guy better. Flirted with him the whole trip and ended up sitting together on the way home. Been together ever since. We were in our junior year of high school.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?The birth of our two wonderful sons and the subsequent birth of our five beautiful grandchildren.
What would you do with $20,000?When I retired in January 2020, we purchased a travel trailer to be able to travel and see our beautiful country. In March COVID hit, we never got to travel. Our oldest son owned 2 restaurants and we both worked with him to try to keep them open. We worked for him until his untimely death by suicide in September 2024. These last 21 months have been the worst time of our life. We are ready to start living again and would use this money to do the traveling we have not been able to do.
