Another Milestone


You just never know what the future holds. In early 1979, the last thing on my mind was to get involved in another somewhat lengthy relationship. One might could say that I wasted a lot of time twice with two different relationships that each lasted at least 2 1/2 years each.........infatuation.......companionship.......lack of focus and vision.......priorities awack............what was I ever thinking? I was a temp and didn't know it each time.

But then I met this one. My first thoughts were.........here I go again.......I do NOT need this........not so soon........I need to think about this................but this time it was different. Something deep inside told me that this was the one and that I cannot walk away from her. This was a special one. Meant to be. Something told me that she was meant for me. I remember thinking.........nope.......ain't gonna happen......no way......no how.........don't bother with her...........go away.........my life at that time was a shambles for many various reasons. I had no money, wrecked my car, earned minimum wage, and had to live in my sister's attic for a while. My future was not bright at all. It was a rough time for me.

On July 18th, 1979 I found myself in the chapel at Baltimore's City Hall marrying the love of my life.

It was meant to be.

Four children and four grandchildren later.......here I am telling everyone how I am the "luckiest man alive".
I honestly could never have imagined how things turned out. I seriously do not think I would have made it this far without her.......in fact, I know I wouldn't have. 

Thank God for 35 years!

Happy 35th Anniversary Supernurse!
