...after all, we were a 42 year old spinster and a 48 year old bachelor. Consolidating things are never easy, and when you have two households, two personalities, well, the first few months were rough.
Nine years legally later, we are still together.
We have had are share of rough patches, and as Jim says, we bypassed children, and went straight into dealing with the sick and the elderly. The last almost four years with my Mom have been no picnic, because I miss being with Jim at night.Sleeping on a sofa is just not the same.Jim's Mom is four years older than my Mom ,and recently we have seen her start to decline. We got through my two new knees but we are cultivating our own set of aches. Like other couples our age, we have had a lot of stuff on our plates.
We have watched our Zosia girl mature, and then, two years ago, got her a little sister, Kasia girl.We love them both and have had them make our day many a time, and I am sure I am also writing for Jim when I say we can't imagine our lives without them.
Most of all, I can't remember life before Jim- it feels as though we have been together forever.
As Martha Stewart would say, " It's a good thing."
Happy Anniversary Jim! Love you!
