just curious - my parents were married for 68 years when my mom just died - how long were your parents married?

Around 39 years, if I am estimating correctly. Both of my parents were in their late 50's, when my mom was diagnosed with the colon cancer that led to her death 2 years later.

They were married 24 years I think. They were separated for 12 before the divorced.
My parents were married for 65 years.

My parents were married 45 years and 8 months up to my dad's death in 2004.

@ronisme1: My grandmother is the only one in our family to have lived anywhere near that long so far (all the others have gone at 83 or younger). However, I do think my mum stands a good chance of becoming the second one to reach the century mark. She is 81 now and still in reasonably good health.

@Bottomschmackenloudenboomer: i hope she makes it many, many more years

@ronisme1: Thanks. :)
My dad died a few months shy of their 40th anniversary.

I've been married for 20 years now.
