My grandparents were married 62 years when my grandfather passed away last year. I can't imagine being with someone that long and then living without them. It must be very hard.

What a sad, yet wonderful story, Lil.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.
