Alice

They met shortly after the war. She had never been in love
with anyone else before. They eloped and married in Tijuana,
Mexico. He was 19, she was 18. If you heard about a young
couple doing that now you would think them exceedingly
foolish. It was different then, you could meet someone and
know that you were meant to be together. They remained
married for decades until his death. She loved him so. They
had a home filled with children, animals, and the stories of
travels they took. Together, they explored as much of the
world as they could. Most people never get the chance to be
themselves as they did together. They would go to the local
comedy club as often as they could and made friends with
the staff. After his passing she would still go and sit at the
same table she used to sit at with her husband. She would
bring her daughter on occasion, or a lot of times bring a
friend to share the evening with. At age 84 she was still
as beautiful as any human being could hope to be.
