Brenda & Johnny Patterson, Hampton, Tennessee:
Brenda was originally from West Virginia and Johnny from Carter County Tennessee.
Brenda:
"We were married when we were really young. I was 18 and he was 19. We had two children. We had a problem that we didn’t really know how to resolve. Things happened and our families got involved. We went our separate ways. Forty one years later he sent me a request on Facebook, a friend request. Five months after that we remarried."
Johnny:
"She was living in Arizona as were our children. I was living here (TN). We have always loved each other."
Brenda:
"Now we have five grandchildren living in Arizona and a great grand child on the way! He came out to Arizona, 2000 miles. We came back here in 2012 and we we got remarried."
Johnny:
"When our families got involved and they made her to believe, well, I didn’t believe she loved me and she didn’t believe I loved her."
Brenda:
"But we always did."
Johnny:
"But we loved each other all them years; forty one years."
Brenda:
"Unfortunately we both were remarried to other people during that time, which was a huge mistake. But I’m just grateful we got back together and everything’s gonna be OK."
