“Last night, my 89-year-old uncle brought me his copy of my book so I could read the notes he wrote in the margins throughout,” Marrs captioned a photo of the book. “He reminisced on his own story as he read and jotted the memories for me (and his kids and grandkids and great-grandkids) to read. I cried this morning reading his words.”

She continued, “This is the power of sharing our story. When we do, others will, as well. Truly, we each have our own unique and beautiful and hard and magical story to share.”

Fans were quick to react to the touching moment, with one follower writing, “I can’t even. How precious and priceless is this! I LOVE this so much for you Jenny!”

“Well I didn’t expect to wake up crying but here we are,” another wrote.

Jenny and Dave Marrs Have a Long, Happy Marriage

Marrs and her husband, Dave Marrs, seem to be following in her aunt and uncle’s footsteps in terms of a long, happy marriage.

The reality TV duo first met in 2002, while working for the same company.

“We built log cabins in Colorado – my dad and I did,” Dave told “About You” magazine in 2018. “I thought I didn’t want to build anymore. So, I did the corporate world for two years, which was enough. It allowed me to meet Jenny.”

They would go on to tie the knot three years later, in 2005, and have since welcomed five children together: sons Nathan, Ben and Luke, and daughters Sylvie and Charlotte.
