Reading your marriage life story was like pulling out my diary and putting it on paper. I've always thought you were my mind kin. For my situation, the years will be 54 since we first laid eyes on each other.
Every paragraph you included above was like turning the page of my diary, with an extra strong man on the other end. His love of family and ancestry is awesome. When you mentioned love of children and only want their well-being, I had to laugh as my husband and two daughters just returned from a weekend trip. It was as if the kids were 14 and 4 again. We lost our son twelve years ago.
What matters most to us know, as you say, peace and continued peace with the foolishness behind us. As we approach eighty (mid 70s for me), we've allowed them to take charge of our lives as we minimize and downsize our home. More concerted effort now @millycf1976 as we prepare to move to another city with one of them next year.
Oh, and we've only had one master bed. Thanks so much for the wonderful history kin. Take care and have a lovely rest of your week.
Hello @justclickindiva,
I also have always felt simpatico with you...a sense of shared experience though we lived so far apart.
That you lost a son...this is a hurt that changes life forever. In your case, I think it made you more compassionate. There is always kindness and grace in your blogs and in your comments.
As for the bed: Many years ago I was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition that makes it hard for me to be still. There's always a prelude to sleep that is filled with restlessness (and even during sleep). Still, my husband has said he can't sleep until I come to bed. We are very much a unit. Wasn't always that way. We had to grow.
Thank you for reading, and sharing, @justclickindiva. Kin, indeed. I will fight to keep this platform vibrant precisely because I get to 'meet' people like you. Be well, or as well as our age allows us to be.
Same to you. I'm trying to stay afloat. Underlying medical conditions are trying to drag me into the abyss. Take care of yourself and hubby. And appreciate you trying to keep the platform alive for the right reasons!
