Many things were there, but some important things were not, and I didn't know any better. Now LaMar and I will be very old if we reach our 40th, but at least we've been blessed (sometimes dubiously so) with a lotta living and life events packed into our almost 13 years. Some we could have done without, but we were pretty solid going through them together. And that's what it's all about.<br />Happy soon-to-be 40th.

I love that you can can take frustrations out on each other and know that it is just a necessary way to vent and you can still just love love love each other, knowing that it doesn't have anything to do with the other person. Dick and I are like that too. He just understands me so much that if I start to take my frustrations out on him, he pretty much ignores it, so I can't be mad for long. He has never raised his voice to me in the 40 years we have been married. I wish I could say the same for me. <br /><br />I really loved Momza's comment!! I'm going to write it down so I won't forget it. I can't seem to remember anything these days.
