Jerry and I have been married 46 years. We wonder where the time has gone. Just yesterday we were on the road to the town of Experience. It was fun making our own decisions as we traveled the road. In fact we thought no Adults before us had ever made any right decisions so we would be the first to have the perfect life. Now we are on the road to Regretville, regretting some of those decisions. This is what happens when you finally arrive at the town of Experience. You realize the errors you made and it is too late to change them. Our Neighbor, Mr. Taylor once said “You have to live a life to know it”. He was right. The beauty of the live you’ve lived includes triumphs, mistakes, joy, and sorrows.
We know if we were to live our life together over and be at the town of Experience at the beginning, we would do a few things different. We would base our lives on this truth: “When you have your health, you have everything” and we would work hard to keep good health rules as part of our daily living.
1. We would spend more time in Church praising our Lord.
2. We would worry less about earning money and trust God for it.
3. We would base our life on living within our means.
4. We would help more people along the way.
Things we would not change:
We would still marry each other. Our love for each other has been our treasure and the catalyst our family has used for unity and joy. We would still have children. They are the glue that helps bind us. The joy they have brought and continue to bring to our lives cannot be measured. Each is so different, yet in some ways there is a thread running through all three of them with part of each of us, which makes their actions often so familiar it is like looking back in time. We would both keep our same vocations in life. Both of us have liked our jobs.(most of the time anyway!!)
Things we still hope to do:
1. Travel more.
2. Go on trips with our children and grandchildren.
3. Modernize our house.
4. Live long and prosper.
5. Embrace God’s purpose for our lives.
August 24, 1963 to August 24, 2009, 46 wonderful years of living and loving and sharing our lives.
