TO: DONALD
 |
................
......
WE LIVE
IN PENNSYLVANIA WITH OUR LITTLE DOG BOO. SOMETIMES
WE HAVE
FOSTER CHILDREN WHO LIVE WITH US.
RIGHT NOW
WE HAVE A GRANDSON WHO LIVES WITH US
DONALD
AND I MET IN 1979 IN W. MEMPHIS, ARK.
I HAD JUST
MOVED THERE AFTER A DIVORCE AND HE HAD MOVED
THERE FOR
A JOB. WE MET AND FELL IN LOVE AND LEFT THERE TO MAKE
OUR WAY
IN THE WORLD. WE BOTH HAD BEEN MARRIED BEFORE AND
HAD CHILDREN
FROM PREVIOUS MARRIAGES. ONLY MY YOUNGEST
DAUGHTER
ALESHIA WAS STILL AT HOME.
WE MOVED
TO WICHITA KS. AND WENT TO WORK IN THE ELECTRONICS
AREA THERE.
DON WENT BACK TO COLLEGE TO EARN DOUBLE E,
AS HIS
OTHER TWO DEGREES WOULD NOT BUY A CUP OF COFFEE
WITHOUT
ACCOMPANYING COIN.
AFTER HE
GOT HIS EE DEGREE HE WENT TO WORK FOR BOEING. HE
WORKED
THERE ABOUT 6 YEARS AND THEN BOEING
TRANSFERRED
US TO PA.
HERE ARE
SOME PICTURES OF MY HUSBAND DONALD
 |
in Wichita, Ks.
THIS IS
SOMETHING I REALLY ENJOYED DOING AS A WIFE.
FISHING
WITH MY HUSBAND. WHY SOMETIMES I EVEN PUT WORMS
ON THE
HOOK AND DROWNED THEM. MOSTLY THOUGH I LIKED
TO JUST
WATCH MY BOBBER FLOAT AND WATCH DON ENJOY IT.
I ENJOYED
WATCHING HIM ENJOY HIS FISHING.
I CAN'T
GO ANYMORE BECAUSE I DO NOT HAVE THE ENERGY.
BUT, THAT
IS ANOTHER STORY.

Dean and Mary, Two of our friends. Dean also worked
at Boeing in Wichita, Ks.
Dean was my friend first, as we both started out working in Wichita
at I.F.R. ( INSTRUMENT FLIGHT RESEARCH )
DON
USED TO BE AN ORDAINED MINISTER BEFORE WE MET.
HE STILL
IS LISTED AND REGISTERED AND ENTITLED TO PERFORM WEDDINGS.

WE
HAVE BEEN MARRIED SINCE VALENTINES DAY 1980 AND
I AM SO
GLAD THAT I AM THE WIFE OF DONALD.
HE IS THE
BEST HUSBAND IN THE WHOLE WIDE
UNIVERSE
AND BEYOND INTO CYBERSPACE.
MY LOVE FOR DONALD TRANSCENDS TIME AND SPACE.
Love
I love you,
Not only for what you are,
but for what I am
when I am with you.
.
I love you,
Not only for what
You have made of yourself,
But for what
You are making of me.
.
I love you
For the part of me
That you bring out;
I love you
For putting your hand
Into my heaped-up heart
and passing over
All the foolish ,weak things
That you can't help
Dimly seeing there,
And for drawing out
Into the light
All the beautiful belongings
That no one else had looked
Quite far enough to find.
.
I love you
because you
are helping me to make
Of the lumber of my life
Not a tavern
But a temple;
Out of the works
Of my every day
Not a reproach
But a song.
.
I love you
Because you have done
More than any creed
Could have done
To make me good
And more than any fate
could have done
to make me happy.
You have done it
Without a touch,
Without a sign
You have done it
by being yourself
Perhaps that is what
Being a friend means
After all.
> >>>0==================0<<< <
PLEASE
DO NOT GET MARRIED UNLESS:
1.
BOTH OF YOU WANT THE SAME THINGS OUT OF LIFE.
2. BOTH OF YOU ARE WILLING TO WORK TOGETHER TO
OBTAIN
THOSE COMMON GOALS.
3. BE WILLING TO GIVE 100% TO YOUR MATE. 50%
ISN'T ENOUGH.
4.
WHILE YOU ARE YOUNG AND HEALTHY, ASK YOURSELF
IF YOUR
MATE NEEDED NURSING CARE,
WOULD YOU
STICK WITH THEM OR LEAVE?
5.
COULD OR WOULD YOU CARRY THE ENTIRE LOAD OF
RESPONSIBILITIES
IF THAT WAS REQUIRED OF YOU?
6.
MAKE SURE YOUR MATE HAS THE MORAL
BELIEF
SYSTEM THAT WILL
SUSTAIN
THROUGHOUT YOUR LIFETIME.
7.
MAKE SURE THE TWO OF YOU HAVE A LIFETIME
PLAN TO
FOLLOW FOR YOUR CONTINUED
HAPPINESS
THROUGHOUT THE YEARS.
8.
INVITING GOD INTO YOUR MARRIAGE IS THE
BEST INVESTMENT
ANY MARRIAGE CAN
HAVE, TO
LAST THE TEST OF TIME.
9. LOVE SHOULD NOT BE A MATTER OF WORDS.
"TELL ME
YOU LOVE ME AND I WILL FORGET,
SHOW ME
YOU LOVE ME AND I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER."
10. ALWAYS
LET YOUR MATE KNOW, THEY ARE THE MOST
IMPORTANT
PERSON IN THE WORLD. NO MATTER
HOW HARD
LIFE IS ON THEM, THEY CAN ALWAYS FIND
LOVE AND
COMFORT AND SUPPORT IN YOUR ARMS
AND IN
YOUR HEART. ALWAYS BE THERE FOR THEM.
PHYSICALLY,
EMOTIONALLY AND SPIRITUALLY TO
THE BEST
OF YOUR ABILITY.
.
ONE GETS
OUT OF A MARRIAGE, IN DIRECT PROPORTION
EXACTLY
WHAT ONE PUTS INTO A MARRIAGE.
.
Remember if there is indecision on any of these items
Think
again before you tie the knot.
We are
very fortunate that we were not born long ago when the
wrong choice
in marriage could have been disastrous.

To Don & Olivija
Marriage Joins Two People
in the Circle of Its LoveMarriage is a commitment to life -
to the best that two people can find
and bring out in each other.
It offers opportunities for sharing and growth
that no other human relationship can equal,
a joining that is promised for a lifetime.Within the circle of its love,
marriage encompasses all of life's most important relationships.
A wife and a husband are each other's best friend,
confidant, lover, teacher, listener, and critic.
There may come times when one partner is heartbroken or ailing,
and the love of the other
may resemble the tender caring of a parent for a child.Marriage deepens and enriches every facet of life.
Happiness is fuller; memories are fresher; commitment is stronger;
even anger is felt more strongly, and passes away more quickly.Marriage understands and forgives the mistakes life is unable to avoid.
It encourages and nurtures new life, new experiences,
and new ways of expressing love through the seasons of life.When two people pledge to love and care for each other in marriage
they create a spirit unique to themselves,
which binds them closer than any spoken or written words.
Marriage is a promise, a potential,
made in the hearts of two people who love,
which takes a lifetime to fulfill.- Edmund O'Neill
Happy Anniversary
Happy Valentine's Day, and what a wonderful day for an
Anniversary, so have a wonderful Valentine Anniversary and I
wish you many more. Love like your's is eternal.
