My wife and I have just celebrated our 20th anniversary.
And we're still happy to be together, too!
I'd like to send my warm wishes to everyone (family, friends), who said "it won't last", most of whom are now divorced or split up.
The odds were against us.
Gerda was raised strictly Catholic. When she asked for a night light, she got a big red neon cross. Really! When she wanted a doll, her mother gave her one dressed as a nun. To give you an idea, she had never heard of Captain Kirk or Luke Skywalker.
Then comes along this guy, ten years younger, an atheist, lover of Hellraiser and Freddy Krueger. You can imagine what her Mom thought of me. Especially when we announced our marriage. Not a church wedding. Because we both didn't want one.
But we're still going strong, and Gerda now watches Star Trek and Star Wars. She loves Ewoks. Well, nobody's perfect.
Here's to love, in whatever shape or form.
