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).
"If having three children in six years has taught me anything, it’s that I know nothing. It’s that I am utterly human, fragile to the point of ridiculousness, and an absolute failure most days."
"Before we were about to pull out of the driveway, my husband looked at me as if someone he loved very much had died. In a barely audible whisper he said, 'You’re never happy anymore.'”
"I can’t begin to tell you how many people I’ve met who said that they rarely ever heard their parents tell them they loved them, let alone showed any type of affection to them growing up."
