All marriages have their ups and downs... to that, most all of us can agree. Mine experienced its share, also. Now, after 47 years, we have both reconciled to a deep, abiding, compromising and forgiving love... we have learned to live together... in peace, in harmony, sometimes in reverie... but always, in love... I can look back safely now and see myself honestly. I learned to forgive myself and thank God for teaching me how.
