Hello Beth. This is a wonderful write. I hope my wife and I can have the same kind of life you live. Wee have been married 48 years and every day is different, and the same. That's what happens after that long. You verbally paint a beautiful of your 61 years.

Thank you so much. Enjoy each day. Make memories that will last. My story goes on by remembering when we were young and first met. We had a lot of adventures and misadventures together that make life together meaningful. I appreciate you reading and reviewing this.

Beth! How wonderful to see you have returned. It has been a long time. You will remember me as Honeycomb I hope. I changed to my real name.
I know I can relate to your story because I lost my husband of 55 years in 2009. This was a very good prologue. Looking forward to the story. Nancy:)

Thank you so much, Nancy. I do remember you. I delighted to find so many still here. I think I got busy and 2013 got off for a while. There is more of the story posted but it is sort of long and I've only got one review so far. I 'm thrilled with the four star rating. I look forward to see more of your writing.

Hi Beth. You just reviewed a short poem that I wrote in grief of my own husband's death about the same time your husband passed away. Your thoughts regarding your husband's passing are similar to mine. There is great reverie and soul searching after the death of someone dear. Blessings. Marilyn

Thank you for your review. I see we have something in common. We all grieve in different ways. Life goes on. I want to remember the good times and the bad and rejoice that I had a good marriage and a mate that stood by me through it all.

Welcome back!!! Thank you for sharing this very emotional post with us. I know it will help many people in very similar situations. Mom lost my dad almost three years ago and at times she still struggles. My prayers are with you.

Thank you so much for reading this and for the five star rating.. The rest of them will be less emotional. They go back in time to when we first met.

Thank you so much for review. I really appreciate the six stars. I've written thirty chapters already in January so I don't know how far I'll take it but it feels good to take a stroll down memory lane.

Thank you so much for the review and the suggestions. That is why I'm posting on FanStory hoping to work the kinks out of it. It takes time to make suggestions and I do appreciate it.

It is a complete and coherent that lets you have a clear idea of the reading you're going to experience. It creates a sense of guidance an organization to what you will encounter in the full book.

Thank you for your review. This is the only part that sees a bit sad. The rest of the story I will tell with as much humor but still keep it true as to what happens. I hope you read more.
Comment from Iza Deleanu
Beautiful trip down the memory lane. Sixty three years that is a long time to be with somebody. You life seems to be a wonderful memory spent with an amazing person. This is true for almost every relationship :" hope you were even half as content as I was with our life. I'm sure we both fell short of being the perfect mate for each other, but is anyone really?"
Thank you for sharing.

Thank you so much for the five star review. This prologue was the only part that made my children shed a tear. The rest is more upbeat and funny in parts.
