Transcript
We’ve been married over – we’ve been together over 30 – probably close to 35 years now. Married for 23 years and he is a gem. He’s wonderful, but he really had to grow to understand. He had to see for himself what my limits were. And were good. Were really really good. I’m really thankful for him.
