On January 28, Aloma and I celebrated our forty-fourth anniversary. We exchanged cards and then went to lunch at one of our favorite restaurants. We thanked God for allowing us to be together for so long, and we told each other our favorite stories of our years together.
We remembered Bill and Cynthia Hosley, who introduced us after our failed first marriages. What a gift to find love a second time! We talked about our children and grandchildren. Our combined children didn’t turn out like the Brady Bunch as we hoped, but they all turned out fine. We are proud of each of them. We talked about how sad we still are about losing Rob, or son, at such an early age. We remembered special vacations and special people in our lives. Mostly, we remembered the routine in our lives as we enjoyed each day together.
I’m almost 84 years old, and Aloma is 80. We wonder how many years we’ll be together. We promise to make the most of every day.
Seasoned Man
