Lifetime journey

Here and now beside my love's hospital bed, reflecting on our first to third encounter when asked to be his partner in life, then laughing with a request to have 12 children with red hair like his, after our marriage vows, of course.

Hugging, kissing and wanting to run to the nearest authority to perform our ceremony, then confessing I was not yet 16. From that time, when he looked at me filled with so much love, I could not even think of a lifetime without him.

We married in church 24 days after my 18th birthday. Child bearing was not part of my endowments and managed to bring into this world two red haired and one blond totaling two boys and a girl.

God was watching and guiding us through surgeries and blessed us with the time together when a priest came to give the last rites for the third time, my love told him with all the IV lines running through him that he wasn't going anywhere. That was over 40 years ago. Thank God for our life together and any time we have left. God has blessed us.
