33 YEARS

yes, it IS 33 years. when you get to be of a certain age, math gets hard.

33 years ago, bill and i were married. 1974. you can check my math if you want. it was june 8, 1974. we got married outside at a public park on lake erie in a ring of flowers. i wore a flower in my hair and a flowered hand-made dress. my sisters, my wedding attendants, wore hats and their own flowered dresses. i told them, "here's what i'm wearing -- wear whatever you want." my dog was there, having had a haircut by my six-year-old brother that morning. a friend of mine played guitar. i was pretty low maintenance when i was 19. bill wore a velveteen jacket, a bow tie, and linen pants. he had hair and a beautiful smile. i was crazy about him.

now i'm going on 53 (?????) and somewhat less low maintenance. we've had highs and lows through the years, and there's no one i'd rather have at my side through it all. we have two fabulous sons and a darling daughter in law. we've wept together and separately more times than i can count; but (thank you, god!) mostly we've laughed and enjoyed each other's company and love.

bill's going on 54 (?????), has very little hair and a beautiful smile. he still surprises me. he lets me know everyday that i am loved.

and i'm still crazy about him.
