My entry for yesterday never made it out of the "draft" stage, because something came up later last night that WAY overshadowed the one I was planning to write (and will later).
My husband was "puttering" around the house . . . doing some things to get ready to do some more Christmas preps . . . and he came in here where I was "computing", as he calls it, and said, "Will you come in the living room and play some Christmas music on the piano while I fluff the tree?"
Had to bite my lip to keep from crying (again) . . . he is SUCH a sweetheart and SUCH a wonderful person with whom to share my life!!! He just "knew" I needed to plug in musically somehow - - - YESTERDAY!!!
Terry and I met in 1963 in high school . . . I moved to his school in the middle of my junior year and met him in History Class . . . so we've known each other for 50 years this past February. Had our first date on May 9th, 1963, and I've been hooked ever since :)
We didn't marry until June of 1975, thanks to the Viet Nam War and his five years in the US Navy, plus two of his three years of Seminary at SMU, but the wait was more than worth it, I joined my soul mate in a marriage we believe was made in heaven, and it will be our 39th anniversary this coming June.
In ALL of those years, he has NEVER asked me (that I can remember) to come and play for him as he did some specific task around the house. I guess the reigning emotion of today will be "sappy" and "mushy" . . . sometimes he does something that just makes me fall in love with him all over again.
I am thankful for every day with him and for the gift from God that is our marriage.
Later . . .
