There was a great story in yesterday’s Province Newspaper about Zoe and Bob Longshaw. They’ve been married 65 years and the story of their relationship reads like a slice of history. It’s a great story and I’ve linked it here.
It reminded me of another couple I know who’ve been married over 50 years…I think 55 this September if my memory serves. (If it doesn’t I’m sure my sisters will correct me in short order.) Their names are Jake and Leona Friesen…aka my Mom and Dad.
They were down over Christmas and I had shot some video at Blackie Spit which I had written about at that time, but only put the video clips into a little movie this weekend.
The occasion? A bit of Valentine’s Day and a bit of a birthday…an 80th birthday to be exact.
DAD….HAPPY BIRTHDAY FOR FEB 16!
MOM AND DAD…HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!
You’ve given your family and so many others a great example of long-lasting relationships.
As has been said many times here, Max and Chris LOVED going to Grandma and Grandpa’s. We are so thankful for all the fantastic memories together.
So with that quick intro, here’s a little peek at a relationship that has stood the test of time.
Be The Best.

Move over James Cameron!
What a great way to recognize your parents Randy, well done!
Thanks for comment Chris. Didn’t see it as the system marked it as SPAM. I guess anything with my name and James Cameron in the same comment is immediately tagged…(cough)!
