Were Poor and Struggling But Michael’s Love Was Worth More Than Money.

50 Years Later, I Still Cry When I Remember What My Husband Did for Our Family.

At 19, We Were Poor and Struggling But Michael’s Love Was Worth More Than Money.

My name is Jennifer and This is one of my favorite Photos with my Husband Michael.

Back then we were both just 19 years old and had almost nothing

Michael worked long hours at a small gas station and I helped at a local bookstore after school

We used to Dream about having our own little house someday

One winter Michael got very sick nd had to stop working for months

Money became so tight that we could barely pay our rent

One evening I found him sitting alone trying to sell his old guitar

It was the only thing his late father had left him

I started crying and told him not to do it But he smiled nd said

A guitar can be replaced but our future cant

Fifty years later I still remember that moment.

Because that was the day I realized I had married a man who would sacrifice everything for the people
