Full Description

A love story and a true story of the marriage of RuthAnn Zeigler and Bud Gilbert that lasted until his death from parkinson's in 2016. The story tells of their challenges and ups and downs with blended families. Both were divorced single parents with successful professional careers (he was an engineer and she an educator) when they met and fell in love. The story also tells of their happy times traveling around the country and the world. It is a story of the difficult times faced with his illness and the caregiving challenges faced by Ruth Ann. They had a very close relationship for their 32 years together and remained very much in love. Their marriage was the enactment of the wedding vows which state that the couple will remain faithful and care for each other "until death do us part..." Strange how when one marries with stars in their eyes they don't truly grasp what that phrase entails. Their marriage was a journey of love and full of the realities and ups and downs of life over a 32 year period. It is hoped that reading this will be helpful to others who may face some of the same challenges and will know they are not alone.
