When the blindfold is removed, he leans over to kiss her.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sweety, what you doing? You&#8217;ve got that kiss all waiting &#8230; My goodness.

Muirhead was <a href=\"https:\/\/issuu.com\/betterwithageok\/docs\/caregiver_issue_19_issuu\/s\/14715917\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">married<\/a> to his wife Inez for <em>79 years<\/em> until her death in December of 2021 at the age of 98. The same year they married, Muirhead shipped out to serve in the Army Air Corps. Inez ran beside the tracks calling his name as the troop train rolled out. They both knew he was headed into combat. While in Germany, he met Clark Gable, who was a co-pilot on a B-17 Flying Fortress. Muirhead recalled him as a &#8220;soft-spoken, kind, and a very nice man.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After his return to the States and the end of the war, the couple welcomed two children and became grandparents to four and then eventually great-grandparents to ten. Almost two years following Inez&#8217;s death, Muirhead was able to meet their first great-great-grandchild, little Millie.<\/p>\n<p>The sweet video highlights the joy that each new child brings to their families and communities and shows a special and unique moment, as not everyone gets to meet their great-great-grandchild.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.liveaction.org\/tell-congress-stop-the-doj-from-targeting-pro-life-americans\/?utm_campaign=doj_petition&amp;utm_medium=lan_website\"><b><i>The DOJ put a pro-life grandmother in jail this Christmas for protesting the killing of preborn children.
