45 years! | March 22, 2025

Who can believe it?

Where I came from, divorce was a way of life.

Loving and leaving, with arguing and abuse in between.

My mother left my step-father so often, I had a permanent suitcase packed.

Just in case she wanted to take me with her.

Now, it’s just the opposite.

I even learned how to fight clean!

From the dearest, most patient, most loving man on the planet.

He’s the best. I’m not always.

But I’ll always know that I love and I’m loved for the long haul.

    Congratulations! It’s a job well done by you and your husband. I know how good you must feel because last July was 45 years for me.

    My last anniversary was a special one because I could tell my wife “Of all the years we’ve been married, the majority of the time you’ve had a seizure-free husband.”.

    Hope you enjoy this anniversary and many more to come!

Together, we can make a huge difference. If not changing the world, at least helping each other, with wisdom, compassion and sharing.
