After reading Loving Wives by the thousand. It is nice to get jerked back to reality and realise that there are also good marriages too. My 3rd marriage finally is like you describe. It was a pleasure reading. Keep up the good writing.
Just what I am lucky enough to feel about the woman who entered my life 38 years ago. Thank God she is still here for me to tell her (and show her) how much I love her.
This really makes me happy and sad. My wife of 45 years fits right in here even her memory has been wandering for the last few years and she can not seem to find the words she wants, she gives me a big hug and a kiss the first time she sees me in the morning.. and sneaks a few more in during the day.
You just had to do it. Just had to reach into my heart and tug those heart strings until I couldn't stop it. A smile came first, one of remembrance. Then you tugged harder and it turned into a little pain. I still have my first love, she fulfills me, completes me and even occasionally allows me to believe I'm the boss. How will I cope, nay how will I live if she predeceases me? NO, I will not think of it! She will endure my passing until we are reunited. This is a powerful story.
Thank You,

I recently lost my wife and my thoughts at the end were not at idyllic as the author's. We had good times and the match often seemed very close to perfect, but in the end I was burdened with regrets. We didn't have 30 years; fewer than 20, and there were many things we planned on that never happened because we were foolish enough to think we had lots of time and could wait for retirement for both of us. But the Big C came and took her and all our plans were for naught. I imagine most couples that are attacked by unexpected death have some of this although I may think I had more than my share of unfulfilled plans. So I see this story as fantasy in his memory of almost a perfect sharing of the years. Although a quick bit of arithmetic tells me that they were not yet 60 and from my perspective now, 60 is very young. My story and that of GToast are warnings to all to take advantage of what you have now and not fill your book with plans and dreams. Today is here and tomorrow may never come. 4*
