“Proverbsl 18: 22 says:”He that findeth a good wife findeth a good thing.” When I see something I really want I try to get it.The first time I saw you I said,’that’s for me.’ I proposed on our first date. I think I proposed on every other date but you would never say yes.I finally bought a ring and put it on your finger and told you we were going to get married. I must have really been in love because I sold my 28 Chevy to buy that ring.

One week before we married I quit my job.I was always real smart and you had to loan me 30 dollars to get married. I never paid you back but I have tried to keep the interest paid.

When you were asked if you would marry me again you said, yes, but you wanted to change the part of the wedding vows concerning POORER!

You have been a good mother to our children and a wonderful companion to me. I just want you to know I do not regret the decision I made over 48 years go—to chase you til  you caught me!

You were my valentine then, and you are my valentine now.” 

As she says at the end – wonderful memories!

Remember to email me – anna@b5media.com your memories for the 10th August as I pull together a memorial post for my wonderful Dad

The book “Monsoon Rains is a story of one woman’s search for happiness, healing and recovery in the face of heartbreak. The book is a keeper, not just for its beautifully packaged pages (featuring floral Mongolian motifs and artistic scrawls) but the message of strength it delivers. In addition, part proceeds go to AdoptSrilanka, the charity Southwell was instrumental in setting up.”

If you were going to write your personal journey what would it be called ? I think mine might be called To Hell and Back!

I say “It is so painful, I feel so out of control, it just can’t feel any worse…”

I look at her, expecting comfort and she says..

“Don’t worry, no matter how bad you think things are..always remember they can and will probably get even worse..so enjoy this moment, it could be as good as it gets”

She was smiling as she said it, and it made me laugh..she was actually right and also when I see some of the poverty and violence in the world, I do know deep down that there are people feeling more pain than me.

I have always remembered her saying that and when I get down..I remember those words, smile, take a deep intake of breath and then face the world again, knowing happiness is within our control, take a moment to remember how special life really is… 

For your chance to win…let me know how you take control..what makes you happy?
