Personalities…That is the prompt for today. Not sure what to do with that, but I’ll just give it go. I like my personality. I’m funny, a great listener, a good story teller. I love my life, I love my family (all of them) and I’m madly in love with my husband of 45 years. He’s my best friend of all. A great friend, provider, artist !!! He loves his family too. He just has always been there for all of us. I can’t say enough great things about him.
We started dating when I was just 16 years old. I knew from the first time I laid eyes on him that he was my forever !!!! He was a Junior at Northwestern University ( The Harvard of the Midwest 😉 ) and I was a junior in high school. It was a good thing we never met in high school b/c he was in the class of the, “Jocks” i.e. the athletic group and I was unfortunately part of the, “Freaks” the leftover hippies of the 60’s… Like I said he never would’ve dated me. I guess that’s what they may call destiny. All a part of God’s Plan.
We have a lot of songs, but here’s one that I love, love, love…
We dated for 3 years and then were married when I was only 20 years old. I knew he was my forever and when we said, “Better or Worse, Richer or Poorer, til death do we part,” we meant it. We’ve seen worse, we’ve seen poor and he just is the guy I knew he was. Because he puts his arms around us all through those times and tells me to hold on b/c he’s got this. Just don’t let go.
We’ve buried a son, Sean Patrick. We’ve lost houses and jobs car accident’s/traumatic brain injury but we never give up. It’s called, “Life…” Which can be a tsunami at times but you just have to keep going and hold on !!!! I love you husband.
Just the best guy who is my forever. A great father, husband/provider and grandpapa. I could go on forever but I think you get it. I’ll end with our very first song…
As in every life families evolve and change but one thing that stays the same is us !!! Here’s a little bit of the change I’m talking about. You can’t change the facts or the DNA…5 Children, and 9 grand babies, and counting…
