August anniversary

My dad's parents celebrated their 64th wedding anniversary this month, and sent me a photo of the two. I can hardly imagine being married that long! They complement eachother so well that I worry when one goes the other might follow quickly, and while they are 86 or 87 I don't like the thought of a Christmas without them. My mom said my grandpa is suffering from dementia now and I watched a great aunt detoriate from that, and it was not pretty. They live too far away for me or my parents to really help them out, and they refuse to move closer to my parents. I can understand not wanting to leave the home state where you grew up, but I just wish they were closer so someone could check in on them and help out too. Plus they still have a ranch house with a basement and a big yard, much to much to take care of. I am greatful that they are in relatively good health, and their eyes were still bright in the photo so that is nice.
