Happy 45th Anniversary to Us!
May 31, 2012 by Lillie
Hard as it is to believe, Jack and I have been married 45 years today. I wrote about our life together on our anniversary last year, and I invite you to read Happy 44th Anniversary to Us! We still enjoy our weekly dates to grocery shop at Walmart and have breakfast at Denny’s. However, when we get home, we put away only the perishable items and leave the rest for our wonderful home helper Betsy Gonzales. She’s a treasure and takes wonderful care of us.
Happy anniversary, Jack! I love you more today than I did 45 years ago.


























Happy anniversary to you and Jack. Yours is such a sweet love story, and what makes it all the better is, it’s true. Have a wonderful day.
Thank you, Billie!

Happy anniversary to you and Jack. Marriage stories like this are what makes a young mom like me have hope of a lasting marriage in this world where marriages have become more of a contract thing.
Thank you, Heidi. I hope we can inspire young couples to recognize that long and happy marriages are possible if you are committed to making your marriage last.
Wow, what a milestone, congratulations Lillie!
Thank you, Christopher.
Happy 45th Anniversary to you and Jack. Its so heartening to see that love like this still exists. Today marriages are more of a joke, but seeing you has made me believe that nothing has changed. Marriages are still made in heaven. May god bless you both with all that your heart desires. Always be happy and in love like this.
Thank you, James. I do hope we can serve as role models for young couples to show that love and marriage can last and get better.
Marriage is always a good decision of life if your spouse has mental co-existence with you. Happy anniversary.
Thank you, Maja.
I wish you joy and happiness for long last time.
Thank you, James!
Happy Anniversary to Lillie and Jack. I can see this is a good 45 years decision. Wish you healthy and happy.
Thank you, Justin!
Wow! Cheers to both of you! My aunt and uncle recently celebrated their golden wedding anniversary and It was a very endearing and special occasion. I feel happy whenever I hear news of people celebrating their wedding anniversary.
Thank you, Jane!
Happy Belated Anniversary to you and Jack!

Hello Lille,
Firstly I wish you and Jack belated Happy Marriage Anniversary. I congratulate you both to complete 45 wonderful years of togetherness. Hope you both have a great life ahead. Anyways Lille if you don’t mind can you share with us what you gifted each other on this auspicious occasion?
Thanks for the good wishes, Shonali.
At our age, there is very little we need, and we prefer to enjoy time with each other than to give each other gifts. We spent a leisurely day together then went out to our favorite restaurant for a special dinner.
Best wishes to some dear old friends.
Norman,
It’s hard to believe that our college days were so long ago. The years have flown by!
How I wish we could reach that long. We will surely have renewal of vow by then with our kids and grandchildren.
Cindy,
The 45th was our last anniversary. Jack died two days ago. I was so blessed to have been his wife for all that time.
