It’s a shame what happened to this young couple who were so excited to start a new adventure in their life.

I got married a couple months after turning 17 and my husband was 18. Back then, that’s what a lot of young high school sweethearts did after graduating. Best decision we ever made and we recently celebrated our 45th wedding anniversary. We didn’t move far away from home though. We purchased property only a couple miles from my parents’ home.

Our first child came four years later and then the second one a couple years after that. Now, I get to be relatively young while enjoying my five grandchildren. A couple of my older sisters, who waited until their late 20s to get married, have yet to have their first grandchild. Their children are in their mid to late 20s and none of them are married or even in a serious relationship. They are missing so much of the fun of spoiling grandchildren while they are young enough to do so.
