My first marriage lasted 5 years, not as long as the Seiko watch he gave me. Just goes to prove that sometimes we have to try more than once to do something right. But, I don't give up and apparently neither do you. My present marriage is a gift. We dated at university before my (now) husband had the accident that broke his neck. His family sent me away and for a year he refused to see me. I was young and his family had a tremendous effect one me... at the time. For 23 years we did not see one another. We met again on two visits I made to Chattanooga. I moved to Chatt. We lived together for a year. We married 16 years ago and we have lived a life of gratitude ever since. The universe is full of wonderful gifts if we just keep plugging along and feeling gratitude for all we have. The pleasure of meeting you and your wife would be ours. Perhaps, that day will come.
