Okay, so yesterday I was reading some news, and I saw the name “John Madden.” This guy was a big shot in the NFL, you know? But then I saw another name – Virginia Madden. Turns out, she was his wife. And get this, they were married for 62 years! That’s like, a lifetime. Makes you think, right?

I started digging around, just curious about their story. They got married way back when, and two days later, he passed away. It hit me pretty hard, how they spent so much of their lives together.
Digging Deeper
So, I was browsing through some articles about him. Apparently, there was a memorial for John Madden in Oakland. I found this news from KGO. I didn’t go there or anything, but it got me thinking about how much he must have meant to people. And Virginia, she must have been there, right? Imagine being with someone for 62 years and then having to say goodbye like that.

- Saw the name John Madden and then Virginia Madden.
- Found out they were married for 62 years.
- Searched for more information about them.
- Discovered a memorial took place in Oakland.
- Reflected on their long marriage and his passing.
I spent a good chunk of the evening just reading about them. It’s not like I knew them personally or anything, but their story, it’s kind of inspiring. That kind of commitment, you don’t see that every day. It was a simple evening, just reading and thinking. But sometimes, those are the best kind, you know? It really made me appreciate the people in my own life, that’s for sure.
Anyway, that’s my little story about how I spent my time. No big adventures, just some quiet reflection thanks to Virginia and John Madden.
