The story of the peach tree
“The first time I visited my girlfriend (now wife) in college, I bought a peach tree from a local nursery and told her, ‘...someday we will eat peaches from it years from now, because we’ll still be together.’ Well, it worked better than I planned. Here is our son eating a peach from that very tree.”

Their everlasting love
“I met her online 12 years ago. We were 11. We talked on AIM/MSN and, later, exchanged text messages. We stayed connected as she pursued nursing and I joined the military. I met her in person for the first time a few years ago. Today, we got married. Love can conquer absolutely anything.”
