I Lv U - I Lv U2

About ten years ago, while on a ladies trip, a young woman about

13 years younger than me, made a statement that I still think of regularly.

We were in a restaurant in Gulf Shores. She pointed out a older couple sitting at a table across from us and said that she had not seen them say a word to each other.

She said she hoped that when her and her husband got older that they

always had something to talk about.

I have often wondered why I can't seem to forget the statement

that she made. It did not hit home. John and I always had plenty to talk about.

I have thought about it often and if we sit at a restaurant for any

amount of time....I wonder if some young person is looking at us and saying they

hope they aren't like us someday.

And there it is.....

That is what bothers me

I luckily have the hard earned wisdom of almost

38 years of marriage to my high school sweetie

There is nothing new with us

We know each others thoughts inside and out

We have a happy life

And guess what

We can be happy

just

being quiet!

But according to this comic

we will never look old and unhappy

We text all the time

How cool are we!

but then, I have to say it again

not cool

never have been

never will be

But, we are quietly in love

and

we text it to each other everyday
