Longest marriage ends; husband dies at 101

Wow... what a life, a marriage, and a story... from The Christian Institute (in the UK):

Frank Milford, whose 81-year marriage to his wife Anita was the longest in Britain, has died aged 101, holding her hand.

...They said the secret of their marriage was "a little argument every day" but also "sharing a kiss every night before bed".

...The Milfords spent their entire married life in Plymouth, remaining in the town during World War Two and surviving two bombs, one of which fell on their home.

Read the whole thing.

PS: With Suzanne's and my 5-year anniversary coming up this Friday, I say a little prayer tonight that maybe God'll let us get to 82 years. Or more.
