Things I Am Thankful For: My Wife, My Inspiration

In this season of grateful, I am so appreciative of the crossing of paths that brought my wife into my life.  A night at a local music venue gave me a familiar face.  The girl that used to sit next to me in a math class was standing with a couple of women.  The face was a little older but the smile was one I remembered. 

A few choice words, a few dances and a libation and a promise to get together for dinner one night. Nothing happened for a couple of years but when the time was right, there she was again.

We both had previous relations, I call ours a recycled relationship and we both seem to have learned and knew what was right for going forward.

Our relationship is one of sharing life.  We have both had life issues and health issues but with each other's support all was able to be passed and for us to move on with life.

We laugh together, we share the down sides but always it was a matter of making sure we worked everything out together.

A strong relationship is one where all is shared, good and bad as the commitment to each other means everything impacts the other. We share life

We both love to travel: appreciate good food; don't like to waste time; enjoy music; and respect the value of family.

We have been married for 27 years but have been a committed couple for 35, and with good fortune will continue to click off additional days together.

I have often joked to her that I should send her ex a thank you note.

She laughs with a tone of appreciation but then tells me to behave.  She says that to me a lot.  Cauna has been the best thing that ever happened to me and to anyone that ever had the good fortune to meet her.

Nina Hollander, Broker   I had her family around me for years without out making the connection.  Her older uncle did some odd jobs with my father; and of her brothers was a client of the company I once worked for; and I played golf with a couple of her close cousins

Debe Maxwell, CRS   She says I make her laugh and always did.  Even when we were in school togther she said I would tease her too much nut she still chuckled through her frustration.  I would tell her that she was so good looking that she couldn't see down where I was because of all the others crowding around her to get her attention.

She was a little older and had a slight accent and the looks;  A Zsa Zsa style.  She would talk about the dates she had and the places her dates took her and the best I could do was a basketball game and maybe a drive through the woods trying to run out of gas

Ed you are a blessed man to have found Cauna, as I am also very blessed to have found my wife.  But maybe the biggest blessing of all is knowing how blessed we are for having them in our lives.

Life is great when you land the right mate Ed Silva . I had to throw my line in to the pond more than once before I caught my "keeper". I'm just amazed she hasn't thrown me back into the pond.

I love this Ed!  What a beautiful story and one that needed to be shared.  My husband and I are also recycled and I can't imagine my life without him.  I wanted to send the same "thank you card" to his ex!  I don't think he would actually mind if I did!! Thanks for sharing!

Brenda J. Andrew   I used the word a couple of years ago when sitting with someone new.  They asked me to clarify which I did and she said she was gong to use it going forward as well.
