Marriages
I joke that I was a child bride because my hubby and I married so young. We will be married 41 years this March. I was barely 19 and David was barely 21. We thought we were old enough. But of course we were way too young. We couldn't even begin understand the challenges we were up against--that neither one of us had never left home, had never faced any real-life difficulties and that neither one of us was grown up enough to know what we wanted out of life or to know who we were as individuals. 

But we've had an incredible journey together. Like other couples we've had good times and bad times, uniquely happy times and incredibly sad times.  But it's that time we took growing together, when life was either generous or tumultuous, that bonded our hearts and souls. And so we'll stand together and watch both our children, Erick and Stephanie, join their hearts, minds and souls, with their beloveds, Christine and Mike. We will wish them love, joy and marriages that grow and bond.
