In the late 1960s, Carla and I met at a high school dance. We were both 16 years old, and immediately hit it off. We spent our teenage years together, exploring our small town, working odd jobs to save up for college, and dreaming of a life beyond our humble beginnings.
By the early 1970s, we had grown closer than ever before, but our love was put to the test when I came back from Vietnam with severe injuries. Carla stayed by my side every step of the way, nursing me back to health while also taking care of our young daughter.
Decades later, we decided to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary by going on a dream vacation to Hawaii. We spent our days lounging in the sun, snorkeling in crystal-clear waters, and dancing under the stars. It was the perfect way to mark five decades of love and companionship, and we were grateful for every moment we shared together.
