A Birthday

 


Thinking of Errol today on what would have been his

 75th Birthday




I think of you every day, these days more with a smile than with tears. Time leaves the memories and heals the pain. We were both a mixture of easy to live with and difficult too. We had strong needs to be alone. We were not dependent types. Two alone souls in the big city, ending up on the same street, across the road from each other. Friends for many years, you were the best of friends, then finding enduring love. No longer young when we married, we still had 30 years together. 

I'm so very thankful for those years, for each day...

  10. A rose, loving words, memories, Errol, those 30 years were so special, and Inger, each of you ,I can see, put so much into your lives together, love and harmony just doesn't happen all by itself. Celebrate Errol's birthday with a treat for you and the doggies, a walk in the fresh air, blue sky and clouds, and the rose.XXX

  18. I love your description of your lives. i, too, am one who has a desire for lots of alone space. I have so many interests different from my husband, so I need that space to do what I love to do...think, write, draw, contemplate, etc. You are forunate you had those thirty years together, i'm happy for you that you did. it's kind of scary when you are both on the planet but getting older - i've often wondered who between the two of us, will leave first and who will be left to deal with it all, grief, etc.
