my grandma and grandpa

these are my mom's parents. some, probably most of you know that they were both blind from an early age. they met in the 4th grade and it was love at first 'sight' for my grandpa. my grandma played hard to get and made my grandpa finish college, law school at notre dame, and establish his law practice with his brother before she would agree to marry him!



this picture was taken on grandma's family's farm in the 1930s!


this is my grandma and grandpa in their earlier years with one of their seeing eye dogs. not sure which one this is or when this pic was taken - he has many dogs over the years and his early dogs were always german shepherds.


here is gma and gpa a year or so my grandma died. they were in their mid 80s here and sitting in our backyard in houston. i love that they still held hands well after being married for almost 60 years!
