Sen. John McCain, who continues his brave battle with brain cancer, wished his wife Cindy a happy 37th wedding anniversary on Thursday.

In a heartwarming note posted on Twitter, the 81-year-old Arizona Republican gushed: "Happy 37th anniversary to my love @cindymccain - time flies when you’re having fun!"

The note was accompanied by a photo of the longtime couple, arm in arm and smiling.

And Cindy posted her own salute to the anniversary, saying on Twitter: "What a great life we’ve had. Here is to 37 more."

The couple met in 1979 at a military reception in Hawaii and married a year later in Phoenix, Arizona. They have family, seven children and five grandchildren.

McCain, a Vietnam War hero, is resting at his home in Arizona as he fights an aggressive brain cancer and has not been able to return to Capitol Hill to work so far this calendar year.

He is author of a new memoir, "The Restless Wave: Good Times, Just Causes, Great Fights, and Other Appreciations," to be published next Tuesday by Simon & Schuster.
