HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MY LOVE

One of my favorite pictures, taken by my daughter, a couple of years ago.

Today we celebrate Jack's 82nd birthday. I am so lucky to have met - and after several years - married this man. Briefly, for those that don't know our story, we met online, when that was a fairly new experience. No Facebook, MySpace or dating sites. Just two pen pals with common interests. I relocated to Florida from Texas. And the rest is history.
"Grow old along with me, the best is yet to be" (anon). Certainly at our ages - late 60's and 70's when we met - we were not spring chicks. And we both face the challenges of aging. But together we meet each change as it comes, and treasure each moment in a way we could not before.
So, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JACK. May you reach your goal to live to be 101 1/2years young, with me by your side.
