Nearly 40 years later, they have 3 children, 7 grandchildren, and their family has made the world a much happier place. They are the salt of the earth. Her writing skills still leave a lot to be desired. He still corrects her, and she still laughs it off and doesn't care one bit. I'm so glad he decided to stick with her back in the 70s, in spite of her poor grammar/spelling/punctuation skills! I'd hate to see you reject a gem of a guy somewhere down the road just because he can't spell!
Jeez. Maybe it was her that stuck with him in spite of it all. The first red penned love letter returned would have been the last one sent! Lol
