WOW my how times flies when you’re having fun. I have heard that a thousand times in my life
but never really had a true sense of it until this week. You see 10 years ago the greatest thing
happened to me. I married my sweet
angel from heaven above. Now let me make
this clear it was after a nine year chase!! I have never had a partner like
her, always there in good times and bad.
I am very blessed that the bad times seem to fade very quickly and the
good times seem to never end. We have
seen a lot in our 19 years together. We have seen the marriage and divorce of
her son, the birth of her two wonderful granddaughters. Two Career changes for me. The trials and
tribulations of my young son and the constant turmoil he brought to our home. We have built two houses. Move into another 2 more and through it all
we have stayed together. There is a lot
to be said about that. My son tried his
best to separate us and almost succeeded but in the end our love for each other
helped us to weather that storm.
I can still remember the very first time I saw her;
she was wearing a green madras plaid shirt and white jeans. Looking like a million dollars. I had no clue who she was I just know that
deep in my heart something when pop that had never been awaken before, and I
have never been the same. I am not sure she knows it but there are times
when I look at her and that pop happens again.
No one has ever affected me in this way before or since. I hear people talk about Soulmates I truly
have one. It’s a feeling every human
being should know. There is a love you
read about called Agape love this is the love I have for her. The kind of love that if she were gone I
would have a whole in my being so gaping it would be visible from space. Some people may tell you that no one should
have that kind of effect on anyone. Are
they ever wrong. These are the people
that have never had the feeling I am sure of it.
Well as we head into the next ten years I can’t
wait. I know some of the things
waiting. Retirement for me. Then we will be together all the time and I
think that will be cool. Friends being
reunited and coming together. When our
Memphis family gets down here the band will be back together and then my life
will be a dream come true. Good health
for us all. I have changed my lifestyle
in an attempt to make sure I am here for many years to come. As I often say “I want the last check to
bounce!!!”
Well here’s to another 10 just like this ten my
sweet angel. You are one of the main
reasons I am The Blessed Man
Peace,
The Blessed Man
