Without question, my husband. He has enriched my life and made it happier in so many ways. Now, as we grow older and face issues of aging, to be in this together is a blessing beyond words.
And, I thought I wanted no part of marriage. I had no examples of a good marriage in my immediate family nor my extended family. I had a wonderful career and a good life. But he persuaded me otherwise, and I am so glad he did. I married late – well into my forties and we have been together for 43 years and, God willing, hoping for more.
I have to add, of course, the many four-legged buddies who have given me unconditional love, affection, comfort and who never fail(ed) to make me smile.
My lovely wife Elena, showed me love
when I felt unlovable. Also, the love of
friends has been transformative.
Something that I have learned is,
it’s important to give love, to get love.
For me, this is how it works. Letting
people know how important they are
to me, primes the pump for love to flow.
When I was 8 years old I developed an auto-immune condition that resulted in body scars that are really hard to look at. As well, my entire right side is thinner and weaker than my left, to say I look awful is an understatement. While my parents love me deeply, I never thought I would find a guy who would love and accept my physical appearance. Then at 19 I fell in love with someone who magically fell in love with me. We have been together for 31 years and married for 26. He treats me like a princess. He loves me everyday in everyway. My mum told me when I was first diagnosed with this illness, she was crying in the bathroom at work because she was worried I would live my life alone, a co-worker entered the bathroom and saw her crying and talked to my mom and told her not to worry and that an angel would enter her daughter’s life and he did. My husband’s love is unending and selfless and has made a difference to my very existence. Instead of surviving, I am thriving.
So many, my family, of origin as well as the chosen, my beloved sister, some dear friends of long, having accompanied each other in loving, kind and true friendship almost all our lives, my teachers of once, especially my teacher in arts at school who was so dedicated and my teacher in my profession of long, you who share here of course, my boss who always tries his best to help me on when stuck or desperate about unsolved stuff, as of yesterday when through creative intervention, some really old sticky stuff came to an end and where I bow in deep gratefulness for the understanding that arose and made an end to a really childlike, so far unsolved perspective, as well as dear friends in heart, my Godson who always is close to my heart, and so many more who through their love made a difference. To all I am deeply grateful.
My husband, hands down. We have been together 53 years, 50 of those years in marriage. Since we met so young, neither of us really knew who we were as individuals. We grew up together. Career-wise, athlete-wise, human-wise, partner-wise, my evolution took place in partnership with Peter. Always, he has and continues to believe in me, he is my biggest cheerleader in life. In reflection, it is quite remarkable, and I am so aware and grateful.
My Mom’s – miss her so much.
My grandmother’s (Nanny and Mom-Mom)
My kids.
The love and kindness from everyone on this website.
Happy Sunday everyone:)
God’s love. My husband and my parents. And on this one year anniversary of the loss of my soul cat, BC’s love. BC will always be in my heart, but that cat went thru a divorce, multiple moves, many tears and many joys, carrying me into my new chapter where I am surrounded by love in my home by not just my husband, but our two dogs, Ruger and Reese. I do still miss my BC though 🐈⬛💚

Many family and friends over the years. When I need it the most someone has been there for me : )
My daughters and their partners. My grandparents, now deceased. My granddaughter.
My husband’s. He is unwavering in his love and support for me. We have been together over 35 years and every day is still a joy for us.

That is a simple question with no pondering needed. My lovely wife Cheryl.
