true love never dies

Untitled Part

Chapter 1

Some people may say there is no such thing as true love. That it is something that is only in fairy tales or in the movies, but I have seen a great love between two people first hand. My grandparents had the best relationship I have ever seen in real life. I was always so jealous of them. They both had a great love for each other, and respected each other every day. Yes, They had their problems but I knew they loved and lived for each other every day. They were happily married for 62 years.

Guy and Mary meet in a strange way. Guy owned a gas station in Memphis Tn. In the early 1920,s. He was hit over the head by a coworker and robbed for the till at the end of the day. He was badly hurt and was not expected to even live thought the night. Mary was a young beautiful nurse just out of med school. She was his nurse that was taking care of him. When he came to in the hospital she was leaning over him. When Guy Newton saw this beautiful lady he though he has died and gone to heaven and Mary Worley was an angel

They fell in love very quickly and were married 2 weeks later. They had 3 kids my father and my aunt and my uncle. Mary continued working as a health department nurse. Guy became a farmer. They didnt have a lot of money but they sure made a live and a name for them and their kids in the town where they settled down. They settled in Senatobia Mississippi. All of the kids went and graduated from Senatobia High School. They all three went on to Ole Miss and made a name for themselves.

As long as I can remember I never heard my grandparents fight or have an unkind word to say to each other. No relationship is perfect i know this but to see them together you sure would think otherwise. Neither of them left the house for any length of time without letting the other where they were going and that they loved the other. I heard my grandfather telling my grandmother one day that he was going to the mailbox. He told her he loved her very much. I was sitting on the porch and I asked him about what I had heard. He sat down beside me and told me that something could happen to him and he may not ever see her or get to talk to her again and he wanted the last thing that she hears him say to her was that he loved her. He never went to town that he didnt bring her something back. Could be something as simple as a chicken breast, her favorite cookies or a doughnut just to surprise here and to show her he was thinking of her. My grandpa told me that they never went to bed mad or upset at each other. He didnt care if they had to stay up all night long to resolve the problem. I never saw him or my grandma make the other cry. They both were really respectful to each other needs, wants, and desires in life

When they had retired from working they traveled all over the world. They both loved life and wanted to share everything together. They always had so much fun together.

I remember how they acted around each other. My grandpa always let my grandmother win any fight that they may have had. He would lay back in his recliner and yell Your right! Your right! Your right!. Even when my grandma would try to keep it going and make her point with him. Neither of them liked to fight and tried to make it impossible to get into a fight or stay into one. Both of them were made for each other. They were very soft spoken but very opinionated and very head strong. Very loving and caring for other people. My grandmother was a nurse for over 25 years and had the compassion for her job and the people she served and cared for. I have had people from my home town that my grandparents were great people and loved by all who meet them. Everyone that meet them feel in love with them.

My grandparents went to Highland Baptist Church in Senatobia Mississippi for as long as I could remember. My grandmother was raised as a Jew and didnt not convert to Christian for years after her and Guy were married. My grandpa respected her religion, and never pushed for her to convert. Even after she converted to Christian she still practiced the Jewish customs and values.

Chapter 2

Guy Newton was born to Jeff and marlinda Newton on May 1, 1912. In a small country town called Tyro Mississippi. Jeff was a farmer and taught my grandfather everything there was to know about farming. Guy went to school in Tyro Mississippi. I loved to hear the stories about the live out in the country. How he had to walk to school every day and when it was snowing there were no days off. Him and his brothers and sisters would have to walk backwards to school just make it there. I remember one story that he told that he was out in the barn and got on one of the mules that wasnt broke to ride trying to show off to his older brother. He swore up and down that he could ride it. Well the mule wasnt going and bucked Guy off and he broke his left hand and wrist. He was so scared that he would get into trouble so he never told his parents and till the day he passed away he could pop his wrist in and out of place. My grandfather was a very smart man. He was really good at math and loved number. I heard him say that math and numbers are the only things that never change for language to language.
