Their daughter Eileen Atkinson shared their story on Facebook after mainstream media refused to celebrate her parents when she contacted them. If this goes viral, everyone will contact her for a story..It is the way of the world right?
My parents have been married for 75 years but few have noticed. Most of their friends have died. I contacted 6 local news stations and the Union Tribune newspaper giving details so they could do a story on their lives. Not one response from anyone. I think living into your 90's and staying married 75 years is quite an accomplishment. If you agree, please like and share my post. I want to show them people do care.
A friend of the family shed more light on the couple. She wrote;
And still holding hands everywhere they go! Such inspirations to us all. I'm so fortunate to be a part of your beautiful family. Thank you for being the role models for love and a reminder of what we should all strive for in a marriage.
