IT STARTED IN 1969 — AND LASTED UNTIL HIS FINAL BREATH IN 2002. Waylon Jennings never pretended to be easy to love. And Jessi Colter never pretended it would be simple. They met in 1969. Married the same year. While the world saw the outlaw, Jessi saw the man who came home tired, restless, and afraid of himself. There were storms. Real ones. Addiction. Silence. Long nights. Waylon once said, quietly, that Jessi saved his life. They turned those years into songs like “Storms Never Last.” Not as poetry. As truth. When his health faded, she stayed. No speeches. No drama. Just presence. 33 years together. Not perfect. Just faithful. 🌹
