@@carlameyer4203 Awesome my friend. Thank you so much.
Thank you Donnie! We hope you continue to get stronger! You are such a blessing 😊
@@carierobertson7019 Thanks so much.
My husband and I are so thankful that you're feeling better .
We have been enjoying Donnie Law's Marathon . Your videos are
Enjoyable no matter when you're watching them. Thank you, God bless.
Aww. Mr. Donnie, this one brought tears. My own parents met in a little ol’ mountain church right off 25W. Daddy walked her home down the railroad track and that was that. They were married 62 years when daddy passed. I remember when they were both in the assisted living for a little while together, another oldster asked daddy how in the world he stayed married to the same woman so long and daddy said “I guess I really got lucky”They were poetry in motion. They both walked with The Lord and that was their secret. They could have lasted another 62. 🥰 Very well done, sir!
Amen my friend. Thanks for sharing your memories and story of true love. God bless you.
What a wonderful story about your parents. Thank you for sharing. ❤
Beautiful ❤
Sounds exactly like my grandparents! They were together 50+ years before he passed and it didn't take long for Granny to follow! I'm almost positive that she died of a broken heart! Wonderful story my friend GOD BLESS 🙏❤️✌️
Awwww this was so sweet. Thank you for sharing❤
My parents started seeing each other when Mom was 13 (Dad was her brother's friend). They were married, happy, still like teenagers until she passed away at 72. Thank you for your stories and congratulations. Good to hear your voice
Thanks for sharing this my friend.
Good morning, thank you for such a sweet uplifting story and reminder of times when couples truly loved each other. Times were hard, large families, little money and a strong faith strengthened bonds instead of how things are today. My parents were married 55 years before my dad passed ten years ago. Now a days it seems couples give up too easily, divorce, leaving children who are forever affected by it and broken family ties. Thank you friend for a reminder of what true love is, hugs, letters, hard work, a flower from their land not texts, emojis, blocking people and giving up so easily.
Good morning my friend. Thanks so much for sharing this. That so true. God bless you.

Awesome my friend. Thanks so much. Welcome! God bless you.
Loved lil Abner and Snuffy Smith
Donnie is that what they use to do backwards week when the girls ask the Boyz out.
If my mommy and daddy had lived, they would’ve been married 68 years this coming November. My mommy used to play with daddy‘s little sister and daddy ran around with mommy’s big brothers. Daddy loved to tell the story of how he went to town with mommy for her to pay a bill for Granny and Pappaw And he reached down and took mommy’s hand and knew that he would be holding hands with her for the rest of their lives. One of the last pictures I took of mommy and daddy before mommy passed was her still under anesthesia from surgery and when she heard daddy speak She reached out and took him by the hand. Them holding hands always will symbolize true love to me.
WOW Thanks for sharing this my friend. God bless you.
We went to different schools together 😂😂😂😂😅😅
Hello from Ireland 🇮🇪...it's a tradition here that a woman can propose to a man on leap year day

Was it green beans or okra in the 2 bowls in the painting with the lady in the apron?
I think so my friend.
God Bless your mama and daddy, Mr. Donnie, and also you and your love. LOVE, does conquer all! Blessings!
Amen my friend Thanks for sharing. God bless you.
Congratulations Mr. Donnie on 50 years of marriage. That’s a milestone around here. God bless you both.

Thank you friend. Your very welcome.
What a sweet, wonderful memory and time. We need more of these stories in these troubled times. Thank you, Mr. Laws. Continued prayers for you. ❤🙏
Thank you friend. Your very welcome.
Brother Donnie this is one of the most precious stories I’ve heard in a long while. It’s a crying shame our young people today care nothing( very little )
about our past . God bless you and your wife and your life of love! ✝️
Thank you so much my friend. God bless you. Your very welcome.
Thank you for telling us these touching stories. I love hearing how things used to be. I'm 67 and during my childhood, every chance I got, I was sitting around the "old folks" listening to their stories of their childhood. I still do, to this day. Glad you found your true love and are still together. Glad you're on the mend too.
God bless you my friend. So glad you enjoy them. Thanks so much. Your very welcome.
I love listening to the old timers. Thanks
Thank you, Donnie, for another look into the past. My sister's and I had to have a chaperone when we dated. I met my husband on a blind date. We will be married 50 years this August.
I love all your love stories, especially yours and your parents.
Many thanks. God 🙏 🙏 🙏 bless.
Awesome my friend. God bless you. Thanks so much for sharing this. Your very welcome.
Thanks for this. My wife Judy and I met in high school, April 29, 1961, and married in 1966 (fifty-eight years). We have been through a lot of highs and lows. She spent twenty-two years of my twenty-four years in the military taking care of things at home, and that was difficult. As the typical military wife, she gets the credit for raising our three daughters. Hard times and good times is what makes a great, strong marriage. You need to know how to survive the bad things and bring those times up where you can laugh together again. Like your Dad said, when its time to go, you will be together again in a much better place. Amen.
Awesome my friend. Thanks so much for sharing your memories and story. God bless you.
Memories. One thing no one can take away from you. Awesome video. Thank you
God bless you my friend. Thanks so much for sharing this.
Amazing stories! I could listen to stories like this all day. Thank you and God bless you and your family!
Awesome my friend. So glad you enjoy them. God bless you. Your very welcome.
Amen!
Thanks for sharing......I hope you're feeling better. It amazes me what the old folks accomplished with nothing and they stuck together through thick and thin. I guess they knew they could count on their partner and that's what got them through their lives together. Blessings Mr. Laws. See you next time.
Thanks so much for sharing this my friend. That's so true. God bless you. Your very welcome.
I sure enjoyed your stories.My husband and I have been married for fifty three years.hasn’t always been easy but we’re still together.So glad your back.Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Awesome my friend. God bless you. Thanks so much for sharing this. Your very welcome.
What a beautiful story Mr. Donnie!
Donnie what a beautiful sentimental video. Why do you have me crying so early? It is so true my husband said the same you just know she's the one. Your mom and dad what a beautiful couple. God bless their souls. Thank you Donnie for sharing such a beautiful video. May you and your sweetheart have many many more Anniversaries. God bless you both and your beautiful family. I pray you are recovering well. 🙏🏻🫂🕊️🩵❤️

Awesome my friend. Thanks so much for sharing this.
God bless you buddy glad you are back
You know there are story tellers and listeners I grew up at living in Delaware what they call lower slower Delaware now days in old country stores listening to the older folks tell stories. Sad that those days are gone here anyway
Keep up the good work and continue to get healthy my friend
God bless
Awesome my friend. Thanks so much for sharing this. God bless you. Thank you. Your very welcome.
So glad to see a post from you this morning! Hope this finds you improving by the day! Absolutely loved seeing your parents love story. And I am sure that they are together and loving each other in heaven. Congrats to both you and your wife on the upcoming 50 year celebration. That is awesome! I have a good story about my Granny and Grandaddy. Grandaddy wanted to take Granny out, but she was interested in another fellow. She told Grandaddy that she would go out with him for a dime. That was a lot of money back then. About a month later Grandaddy came up to Granny after church and handed her that dime!! They were married 67 years when Grandaddy passed away. When Granny left us at the ripe old age of 94 she still had that dime, wrapped up in a small piece of tissue paper in her change purse. I have that dime in my firebox, and it will be passed on to my daughter and then her sons. It's worth so much more to us than 10 cents. It's priceless! Hope you have a great weekend and God bless!
That's so awesome my friend. Thanks so much for sharing this. God bless you. I'm slowly but surely my friend.
What a beautiful story. Thank you for sharing, Cathy. ❤

God bless you my friend. Thanks for sharing.
I love story time.Thank you very much
How sweet your mom and dad were in the interview. With so much divorce three days, it was refreshing to hear their story.
Thank you so much my friend.
Bless you, Donnie, what beautiful love stories! My grandfather used to walk three counties away to court my grandmother. He always said she was the prettiest girl in three counties. My own marriage has lasted for 40 years, and I pray it lasts 40 more. I hope youre healing well, Donnie. God bless you.🙏❤️
That's so awesome my friend. Thanks for sharing this. Amazing story. God bless you.
Good morning, Donnie! No need to apologize, it is well worth the wait! Hope you are well on the mend! My parents were married 58 yrs until Mom passed. They were reunited just over 7 yrs later...that was just shy of 3 yrs ago... They went to the same high school, but, didn't know each other. Dad said they'd met at a dance. He saw her setting there with a couple friends, like you said, Donnie, he just knew. Mom said that he really knew how to dance, which she loved herself. They were together all they could which was just on weekends when Mom came home on a bus from the city she worked at. After a year of dating, Mom quit her job in the city and they were wed. My maternal grandmother told me that Dad had come to ask for her hand one Monday morning while Grandma was hanging up the laundry on the line, her dad came up from the barn to see what was going on. Of course permission was given and as they say, the rest is history...♥️🙏
Awesome my friend. Thanks so much for sharing your memories. God bless you. Your very welcome.
