"8 years!!! Big deal."

My father was 16 years older than my mother when they married, and it wasn't a shotgun wedding. Their first child wasn't born until 4 years later. Three more followed. I was the last. My father was born in 1904. My mother in 1920. My mother quit high school at 16. Her mother blessed the marriage. My mother's birthday was October 9th. They married on October 10th, 1936. They were married 42 years when my father passed. In today's world, my father would be looked upon as a pedophile by the perverted left.

No kidding. 8 years? Big whoop. I bet if the ages were reversed it would be called “liberating” or something modernly stupid.

8 years, not a big deal. My parents were 10 years apart, and my mother never regretted it. Both sets of grandparents were also 10 years apart. Never heard any complaints. Sounds to me like Melissa is just getting her name out there again. She was playing a character, I think it’s called acting.
