As many of you know, I am the self proclaimed Luckiest Woman in the World. Sometimes a certain mood strikes me and I try to figure out why. Once I thought by claiming this title I was in effect preventing others from the same good fortune, but that didn’t last. One of my most intimate relations once responded with, “Sounds like you are trying to convince yourself”. And they could be right.
That ‘most intimate relation’ was someone who you would naturally assume would love me too much to be anything but supportive and enthusiastic. Just goes to show you… you can’t assume love, take love for granted, expect love or reject love. Love just is.
Barb and Tom have been in love in their own particular way. Both having been married before, both with children from those marriages, both with histories, stories and experiences that led them to forge a friendship that has lasted over forty years. Forty years… I knew them when they were younger than I am now. How does that happen? How do you adjust, compromise and forgive? How do you appreciate, keep your integrity and hold your
boundaries? You just do, because love just is. Thank you Barb and Tom, I just love you both. And meeting you in 1972 was just one of the luckiest things that ever happened to me. I am looking forward to heading to Nashville again, real soon to sip some Jack Daniels and watch the sun set over those hills.As soon as I figure out how to load up the video, you’ll be able to watch Barb & Tom do the 10-Step!
