Hello everyone, I think this photo fits the theme because you can clearly see how much the people pictured care for each other and enjoy eachother's presence. The only person I recognize is my great great aunt [[Uusitalo-27|Lindy (Uusitalo) Johnson]]. The back of the photo says Lindy, Jonesy, Ada. It makes me curious who Jonesy and Ada were because they seem so close to Lindy. 

Answer 1

These are my parents, Crit Conn and Eula Smiley Conn. They were married a few months after my father returned from WWII and had celebrated their 56th anniversary mere months prior to my father’s passing from complications of Parkinson’s Disease Dementia. My mother passed 16 years later from Lewy Body Dementia having never showing any interest in any other man. Their love appeared a strong when my mother passed as the day they were married 

Answer 2

This photo is of my parents at my brother's wedding just before the official photo of the parents of the groom. The interesting coincidence (that my brother didn't realize at the time) was his wedding day was on my parent's 24th wedding anniversary. They were still very much in love and often held hands when walking together. 

Answer 3

These are my parents, Richard and Jean Erdoes, outside their home in Santa Fe, New Mexico, some time after my mother had a stroke.  My father was thoroughly devoted to her, and cared for her so sweetly.  They were married for 44 years, until she passed away in 1995.  In this photo, she is about 70 years old, he 80.

Answer 4

These are my great grandparents, Ben and Carrie Franco. This picture was taken after their wedding so I am guessing it was taken between 1915 and 1920.

Answer 5

Photo of the original was provided by Bento's granddaughter and is used with permission. She wrote, "Aunty said this picture was taken quite some time after they were married. Apparently there was a photographer cruising the area and she said the kids (she didn't say which of them, but it had to be Aunty Mary, Uncle Lawrence and she) talked them into having the picture taken. Grandpa had been working in the fields and still had his work shoes on and rolled up his pants. Aren't they awesome? [...]"

Answer 6

It seems like grandkids open up a whole new area in your heart.  They are very special.

Answer 7

This year March 15, 2019 was my parents 62nd anniversary. Their profiles are https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Barnett-3518 and https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Leonard-5569

Answer 8

Unlike many people, when I think of Love, I do not think of my parents. Then I came across this photograph and realized how much love there had been with them and in their home. When my mother's sister was ill, my Dad took in her two sons for over two years. When my Dad's brother neglected his daughter, my parents took her in for her high school years. I found out that my cousins considered my parents to be their parents. I had just failed to see it.

Answer 9

These are my paternal grandparents. Both immigrated to Canada from the USA with their families, Neal from Hawley, MN, Flora from Valentine, NB. They had three children. By 1980 they had 93 descendants.

Answer 10

My uncle Duke always brought my aunt Naomi Lucy (Robinson) Anderson a flower everyday from their property. The way he loved her...

Answer 11

My great grandfather, Allan Sheppard, met my great grandmother, Lizzie Goodwin, when they were students at the Pipestone Indian Training boarding school in Pipestone, Minnesota. They both worked at the school after graduation, and they married in Pipestone.  When their first child was about to be born, Lizzie, returned home (White Earth Indian Reservation, about 265 miles away) so that her mother could midwife the baby.  Allan stayed behind in Pipestone working at the school.  He sent this postcard to Lizzie in June, 1911.  Their daughter, Alice, my grandmother, was born 24 days later.  https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Sheppard-1276
