Happy Anniversary to the girl who has stuck with me for most of my life. We made it legal 48 years ago today, at noon. She is the only one who ever really understood me and my desires and I understood hers. I have to thank her for 48 great and wonderful years. I remember our first night together back in November '64. We snuggled up tight in the cold northern Indiana weather and all seemed right from then on. As life sometimes deals a blow it happened about ten years later. Although still young she had a circulatory and breathing problem along with irregular heartbeat and I thought I would lose her. That was resolved with a minor surgery and after rehab she came back stronger than ever. About sixteen years ago she underwent surgery as she was getting weak and again came back even stronger than before. This time passages were cleaned and her heartbeat was strong. I am told she will likely outlive me and am grateful for that becuase I don't think I could live without her. Sometimes she whispers but sometimes she roars at the top of her lungs and laughs as she does it. Her eyes are still bright and her body still has those beautiful curves as the day we met, no sags, no wrinkles. We have discussed it and tonight, 48 years later, we may just spend the night together again snuggled up tight but this time in a warm Texas garage instead of in the colder north. Happy Anniversary to my '57.
