2013 The Year of Things Breaking
We have been together through thick and thin, naval separations, heartaches and more good times than anyone deserves. I consider myself the luckiest man alive. I have a wonderful wife, daughter, son-in-law, in-laws, grandchild, friends and a lot of good luck, except at the casino lately, but that is sure to turn around there.
I see a lot of things on Twitter and Facebook that makes me sad for young folks and all I can do is hope that things turn around for them. If I may pontificate for a moment, the best thing in life is having someone you love and someone who loves you. Joyce and I have been through lean times, remodeling and moves that didn’t work out so well, but we survived and are still in love. I take no credit for that; it was all pure luck on my part, but I have tried to make it even better in recent years and I think that is what it takes to make a marriage work. I understand some marriages can never work and that a person has to just cut ties and get away. That is where I have been so lucky. 49 and ¾ years and I would not change a single day. Mistakes made are opportunities to improve and I have had a lot of chances to improve.
The house and equipment may be falling down, but I am getting better and Joyce, well she has always been wonderful.
