ReplyDeleteThanks to everyone who entered. I'm sorry, I couldn't get to the blog on Wed. to comment but I'm so impressed by the variety of stories. To those who haven't reached 50 years yet, good luck! To those who had heartbreak before that time, I'm so sorry. For those not on the marriage path, celebrate your lifestyle!
