Real Stories: Henry Sr. and Gracie Cash
I had the great pleasure interviewing a wonderful couple this month, my parents. I always enjoy spending time with them. This interview was entertaining and funny. I thoroughly enjoyed myself as always.
My parents have been married more than 43 years.WOW! They are a great example of a strong marriage. They taught me and my brother that family is most important and that marriage doesn’t mean you give up the things you love to do as a couple. My parents’ made sure we had everything we needed and everything we wanted. But they never let the scarfice for their children stop them from doing the things they loved to do like traveling and hanging out with other great couples. I always enjoy talking with my parents about the early days of their marriage. I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I did.

How has your marriage changed over the years?
H and G: Marrying at such a young age 18 and 19 we grew in ways most couples did not. We were new to marriage and the city of Houston and totally depended on each other for everything. As the years went on we got better with communication and loving one another. We always wanted the same things in life and by the grace of God & lots of hard work we were blessed year after year, some easy, some not so easy. Each year brought us closer and closer.
