another bottle of wine down..
i meant to say this a few days ago, and kept putting it off for various selfish reasons which i do not feel the need to put on the internet. now, however, i feel it is time to share with you the loveliness of my grandparents. these are two of the greatest people in my life, and i not only try to model myself after each of them in respective ways, i want to model my romantic life in such a way to end up like them in a number of years. they are 83 and 84 years old, and this april fool's day will be their 64th wedding anniversary. and they are still in love. i couldn't imagine either grandparent without the other; they truly formed two halves of an incredible person, as so many years of marriage would do to a couple. i wish, now, that i can find someone to spend 64+ years with and still be so in love and so happy.
as homage to my grandfather, i give you a story:
grampa and gramma called me on my birthday to wish me a happy one, and since neither of them can hear very well nor have the strength to stay on the phone for more than a few minutes, we talked of mundane things. grampa asked how the weather was, and i told him it was miserably cold but that i heard it was worse in chicago. he said it was, and that it was worse for them because they had no heat in the house. i knew he was kidding, since i knew that if they truly had no heat in subzero weather, they would not be in the house, especially with two daughters with heated homes so close by. he then said it was okay, since he and gramma were sitting close together for warmth. i asked grampa if he turned off the heat himself so he would have an excuse to cuddle with gramma, and after a short pause, he said yes. then gramma chimed in to tell him to stop being silly.
i love them so much.
