She’s Not Going Anywhere
My granddad met my grandma in Germany while he was posted there. They tied the knot in Germany, then came back to America together. His family wasn’t jazzed about the international love story – to the point where his mom tried to bribe him with a shiny new car if he’d marry an American girl.
Naturally, my grandma wasn’t thrilled. To show she was here to stay, she decided on a second wedding in the States. She wasn’t messing around – they stayed happily married for 55 years. And she’s still living in the family home to this day, showing she really meant it when she said she wasn’t going anywhere.
