Sunday

Maybe it's just me, but every time I see some young couple, in love/lust, trothing to one another, I have a silent pang of possible future hurt.

The joy of finding just the right companion to share life together forever is overwhelming. But the likelihood of a long-term supportive relationship seems to be the exception.

Congrats on your 59 years!!!! Keep them going - I love your positive example.
