Dorothy Custer is the definition of gumption. Listen to her tell the story of how she met her husband, then at 2:10 she reveals the secret to long life (btw, it's the cutest thing ever).
When Larissa met Ian at college in 2005, she never dreamed she'd one day be his wife ... and his caretaker. After a tragic accident left Ian without the ability to speak, walk or care for himself, she did what any woman in love would do: she married him.
"I did everything I could to be what you wanted. I did everything you told me to do. It still wasn’t good enough. You left me for a younger prettier girl."
"One time, I spent 3 hours cooking an extravagant meal for a man only to be told 'I don’t really like that. I think I want Wendy’s tonight.' Tonight, my boyfriend said “thank you for cooking” after I put frozen chicken strips in the oven."
After seeing her transformation, her ex-boyfriend called her up and asked her out again. He said, “I heard you put on some hotness.” Her response is AH-MAZING.
“For me, it was hitting rock bottom and it was a wake-up call. Honestly, it was the day that my boyfriend and I had broken up and it had nothing to do with him. But it was just the moment that I was really broken and I was really upset."
