I'm blessed with the greatest wife of all..........had two crappy first marriages and swore I'd never marry again......20 years later....BAM...I saw my sweet Shirley's beautiful blue eyes batting at me and I've never been the same since...........I give thanks to the Lord everyday of my life for her............and I thank her everyday for loving me the way she does............I love doing everything with her, even shopping! She never yells, screams, controls me, and everyone who meets her loves her immediately........she's the sweetest, kindest, sweetheart ever in the world to me........here I am, falling apart at the seams due to a worn out engine, and she's always there to care for me and love me..............I've never, ever been so happy in my life....ever, until I met her. We've been married for 8 years now and it's too bad that I wasn't fortunate enough to meet her 30 years ago. I still tuck her in every night of her life and tell her I love her so much.....Shirley never had a parent ever do this her whole life, never tucked her in, never covered her up and asked if she's cold, never once told her they loved her.....she was alone all of her life.....so, I do it all of the time and will until the day I die.......I will try my best to make this up to her, to make sure she's deeply loved, cared about, supported all of the time, protected and watched over....she's my best friend ever
I do have a beautiful 34 year old daughter who has totally cut me out of her life thanks to the controlling, one way, money hungry wife I married in '78. Though, I had a wonderful 10 years with my daughter, it was just absolutley great watching her grow....I taught her everything she knows.....photography, guitar, bowling, riding a bike, roller skating, all about Corvettes and their engines, showed her how to pick up snakes, plant flowers, draw, and played guitar for her every night I had her when I put her to bed....she was the light of my life and never gave me any problem at all.................I was so proud of her.......she still is a beauty, but because of her mother's brainwashing, she's missing out on her only father's life.......I still miss her, but abhor her for this type of behavior..............I only wish someday my evil ex and my daughter will find out that I'm now the happiest man on the earth, no matter what kind of crap I've been daught........if it weren't for my Shirley, I'd be totally lost..........I truly believe that God sent her to me..........I really do..........and another thing.....it's sure nice to see others here on the forum feeling so thankful for their lives.....that alone is worth the read..............
But, look what happened to Brian and Mike..........they lost the love of their lives just recently..........and it truly scares me and makes me feel bad...even a little guilty for still having my love with me........it could happen to anyone of us here...........so I guess that's always in the back of my mind...........I'd literally fall to pieces if I lost my wife..........I still don't know how Brian and Mike cope with this.........you don't know until you're in their shoes...............so.........say a little prayer for them, also..........it shows we care.
Getting too personal, and I don't know why I spilled this, but.........I just don't know.
