My wife has
kept me grounded for thirty-five years.
We still hold hands at night in bed as we fall asleep.
She is Wicca
or Pagan and celebrates the seasons. Her
favorite season of the year is Halloween.
She has a broom
that was made by an artisan in Appalachia Tennessee; it has a handle of
sassafras and she always decorates it to the season.
We have two cats, but the young (Kliban) Coon
cat is definitely her familiar.
I was a hard
case, on the highway to hell when she agreed to come with me – and I have never
understood why.
We have lived in a
remote farmhouse with no plumbing, water or electricity while we attended
college; we have traveled to Alaska twice, for a total of eleven years teaching
school in the remote Indian and Eskimo villages;
we have shared
multiple-lifetimes of adventures during our time together; and I can truly say
that the thirty-five years I have been with her is the only quality time of my
70++ years.
And if there
were eternity
I’d love her
there again
the Ol’Buzzard
You both are truly blessed. You live in a magical world of each others love.

ReplyDeleteI love that you have each other..I love those faces.
ReplyDeleteThis is so wonderful. What a trip you're had together! And adventures to come, too, I'm sure. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIf there is only one lesson to learn in this life it must be loving and allowing oneself to be loved. You make a very beautiful couple.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful tribute. May you share another 35 years just as loving and joyful.
ReplyDeleteI'm recuperating from a broken arm and have been off the computer for over a month - just catching up now. This is, by far, the best blog post I've read! Wishing you both a wonderful 2017!
