My
grandparents had been married for 50 years; they threw a party to celebrate
that milestone. Their marriage did look perfect, but there were some tell signs
that indicate that they too had ups and downs. My grandmother is very helpful;
too helpful that sometimes people tend to abuse her generosity, and it irks my
grandpa. My grandfather has a passive-aggressive attitude that sometimes, is
kind of hilarious (like he would tout his grandkids not to eat sweets, but
keeps a stash of dark chocolate for us if we were craving for sweets).
Sometimes you’d hear them bicker, but at times they can be really endearing.
It’s not hard to imagine a couple being married that long; that is an
achievement in itself. But what would happen if a life changing circumstance would
come between them?
