Ignoring Valentine’s Day

Lovers, do not let this day pass without you acknowledging your better half in some way or another. We quit giving each other cards and I quit giving her any sweets after finding she didn’t eat them. Usually a year or two later she would toss them. Flowers I gave to her two years in a row and she let me know she really didn’t care for me to waste my money on them. So over the years, we have finally came down to just doing something special on that day. It makes her happy and me as well. For most people this would not seem Valentine’s Day but to us, it is. We show our love for each other daily so we don’t need a special day or cards, sweets, flowers to say it. I am lucky, most do not feel this way so beware, if you don’t have an understanding, hell will be to pay for a few weeks until it is forgotten about. Love is a strong bond but yet a fragile bond that can start cracking if you don’t pay attention! So everyone out there, pay attention!

The closest I come in one of my books to it being a love story or sorts is my book “T.T. Gristman” and my book “Stranger Comes Crawling” Where an alien lands on Earth and within seventy two hours has married a human. Not for love but realized she might be able to hide from the authorities. ImageThis was the story that I wrote that got me into the finals of Marsocial, Author of the Year contest.  

Finding Love!

Beside your children and parents, finding a partner that loves you and you love them is one of the great searches you find as you go through life. I have been fortunate finding three women that love me and I love them. Unfortunately, one died of cancer and one died of a massive heart attack. My third love, is still going strong and we are growing old together. I can’t say I’m growing old gracefully, she is but I refuse to grow old. I told my children for years that I was twenty-nine. Then when they became adults, I told them I was thirty-nine. I lied for so long none of them knew my age until they hit their forties and late thirties. Finally I raised my age to fifty-nine and that is where I will stay until they are older than me, hehe! Now back to finding love. Of all my loves, I feel my love with her and her love of me was deeper than any of the previous loves. She is my lover, wife and best friend. With her, I can talk about anything and make her laugh everyday. That is the most important thing in any relationship. Laughing is what keeps you young at heart and that is the place you want to remain young at for eternity. I know I won’t live forever but the past fifteen years has been the greatest in my life. She is my biggest supporter when it comes to writing and my fabulous saleslady. I love her with all my heart as should you when you find your woman is your soul mate. Image
