Sometimes we laugh.
Other times we cry.
There are so many things that have changed in our lives, over the years. Not all were good, certainly not all were bad.
We have come to enjoy real, and flavorful food, conversations, carresses, kisses, cuddling, with no repercussions.
For many years we loved each other but we didn’t always like each other. They’re not the same thing, you understand, loving, and liking. We have, and will always love each another, but we didn’t, and don’t always like each other.
Now, after more than 50 years together, there is still no one else, for either of us.
I type this with a smile on my face, acknowledging the fact that we were meant for each other all of those years ago.
How do I know this? We have/had so many coincidences, similarities, opposites as to be ridiculous if you don’t believe.
We were different in every way; religiously, he was Catholic, I was Methodist. Financially; he came from a lower middle class family of 11; me, upper middle class, with a family of only 7, which included my Gramma Manda; 3 generations in one household.
His parents, having newly come to the US, were Democrats, because the Democrat party was the party for the working class. My family, my parents, and Grandma, were staunch Republicans, because they were NOT Catholic, they were financially well off, and they were of an ethnicity that was more acceptable in the US.
The only thing we had in common, the only thing we shared was love.
We’re still going strong 54 years later.
Until next time, stay happy, and healthy.
Have a wonderful, prosperous, and happy, healthy new year.
