Hello Rob, Lately, I have been reading your various articles about
marriage.
It amazes me how close we are. I also wore thick
glasses. Because of this, I didn't feel that I would meet the girl that
would be willing to go through life with me. Well just like you, God had
other plans.
Sara and I lived far from each other. In fact
different states. Sara lived in Camden N J and I lived in the Pittsburgh
Pa. Area. We met in Erie. I met Sara in December 1963. She was twenty
years old and I was four years older. It was three years later when we
got married. Just last month, we celebrated our forty ninth year
together. It has been a wonderful life together. Our Heavenly Father so
richly blessed us through out the years.
Yes, we also dated many
times during those years. At times we were able to go to a motel for a
week end by ourselves. This helped both of us from my work and also Sara
from the children. We also spent many times on vacation with our
children. We do have many many memories of our life.
Now as we go
on, with Sara having dementia, our life together is just as strong as
the day we walked down the isle. I just wish you and your wife as many
years together. It is so wonderful to know that The Lord Jesus is before
us as we spend with each other in our future. May God bless you both as
well.
Your Friend in The Lord,
May we always cherish our spouse, no matter the circumstances. There is
a reason why our Heavenly Father got us together. May your story be a
love story that lasts forever. After all it's all about love! "And now
these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is
love." 1 Corinthians 13:13 (NIV)
