Well said, Jim, couldn't have put it better myself, we started being in lust with each other, & eventually reached the companionship you mention, & the really hard part now is NOT having her by my side, always.

But, I did tell her everyday that I loved her!

True love never dies!

She is not by your side....she is in the softest, safest warmest place she could ever be....she's carried in your heart.

Many congratulations, Jim, to you and your wife. That is some achievement. We will have been married 61 years on the 23rd of this month. No secret to success – just stay with it whether it’s sunshine or storms (and getting over the stormy bits can be VERY interesting!).

Spent our honeymoon in Morecambe – just imagine Morecambe in February. Enough said!

The only time anyone of sound mind would want to go to Morecambe in February is if they were playing Stanley!!

(Congrats anyway!)

Ta for the congrats, Gerard. You wouldn’t be the first person to doubt my sanity and I’m sure you won’t be the last, but a cold rainy Morecambe in February 1957 was the best we could afford – and we certainly didn’t go to watch any football matches…….
