Count to “Celebration”
Beginning
tomorrow, October 7, 2016, we will commence
a count to a “Golden 50th Wedding Anniversary”
celebration.
Each day will
ascend in number until we reach November 25;
a loving tribute
to “My Girl” will be the nest fifty
blog posts.
On Halloween, we
will post “Gramps & the Kid” as a
codicil
to the
acknowledgement celebrating fifty years of marriage.
It’s been one
grand ride filled with events and adventure.
Some Great personages have added delight to the nectar
and I sincerely
“Thank” them all from my heart and spirit.
I pray that the
reader glean some happy emotion sharing our experience.
So!
Tomorrow---we…begin, again! Enjoy! Our journey!
Amen!
Author’s Note
January
11, 1964, a blizzard lamented “young love” attempting to dampen what, it turns
out some fifty years after the fact, fate had portended for this ragtag rebel,
rascal, rogue’s life.
Little
did that vacant winter storm, or, “Simple-humble”-I, realize, or even, suspect
that a simple “innocent” little kiss might lead to satiating Love-romance
encompassing fifty-four years of blissful
union concluding two exceptional daughters and four “Perfect!” grandchildren.
That one un-deserving, such as I, might reap such reward is
“Celestial-blessing” personified.
Not
that any of that treasure resulted
from effort-design by this recalcitrant rapscallion.
But,
rather, because Lovely Lady Candice Leah lives “Goodness” in all efforts like a saint!
That
“everybody” loves her is quite evident and obvious. On many occasions, public,
private, special occasions, chance encounters, some “stranger” will come up to
her, smile, give her a big hug and hold a “reunion” with her, right on the
spot. When the adulation fades as the “guest” reluctantly dissolves the meeting,
I’ll ask “Who was that person?” Miss Candy will smile that endearing grin and
with enthusiasm explain in precise detail their name, what class she taught
them in, the year and some cute little story specific to that individual. One Classy Lady!
For
twenty long years, I told everybody that “The Lady” was a Saint! Then, one fine day, I apologized for my mis-characterization
of Lady Candice Leah, saying, “You are an angel!”
And---she…Is! (She’s tolerated my shenanigans for
Fifty-plus years! Amen!) Thank you!
So!?
Now?---onward…and, upward. For the next
half century, I’ll try to be---Better!
(maybe)
Thank
you, Dear Lady, for Loving---me! Amen!
As
I attempt to explain in simple words my devotion, I lay bare my emotion in poetic-rhyme.
I Thank God He sent thee for me to be
found
Seven precious
jewels now adorn me gold crown
Live!
Love! Laugh! Focus
contemplate!
Vigilant be! Not
one future be ever late!
Faith!
Family! Freedom!
Might just be all there really---Is!
In one eternal
instant the only mercy-blessing will be…His!
Our
blessings: Catherine Elizabeth, Rachel Rebecca, Z. Tyler, Lauren Victoria,
Alexandria Elizabeth and Anna Marie and you, Dear Lady, are my life and--- Joy…in my adventure journey!
Absent
any one of you would surely obfuscate my treasure-find---true…Happiness!
Within
the following Tribute I pray thee
find me deep, true Love! heart-spiirt-soul
expressed.
I Thank Thee,
Candy-girl, for Love!
Beauty emulated
by yon snow-white dove
Pure-blessed
“me” by heaven above. Amen!
Happy “Golden” Anniversary!
(November 25, 1966-2016)
You are my Love, forever,
Carl Edward
