Life is always something to rejoice in. Life with another being is even greater. I've been with my wife 54 years, 4 sons, and all of their extended families. Just remember to say "I Love You", enough times a day.

Yes. I will remember to say, "I love you."
Kelly and I love each other in special ways, that no one can touch, with a ten-foot pole.
We rejoice in our love!
Jesse
Comment from Michele Harber
Jesse, I've been thinking about you a lot with the operation coming up, but this actually takes some of the worry out. Going in with such happiness and positivity can only work in your favor, as will having someone there waiting for you when you come out. This is wonderful news, and I couldn't be happier for you!
By the way, I love the line, "Take time to make time." That really is so important, and something too many people don't realize they can and need to do.

Hello Michele.
Thanks for your genuine support, and I am glad this news takes the worry out of you.
You being happy for me means the world to me.
Thanks for choosing your favorite line.
That one is a lot of people's favorite.
I tried to get the message to everyone that time is the greatest gift.
I hope this comes across that way.
Take care, my dear friend.
Jesse

Comment from Liz O'Neill
I like how this progresses: "I want to shout out from the rooftops to the world, that I am in love with my close friend, Kelly, but she doesn't know it yet." Then "I am enjoying the thrill of this ride we are on together." & " now that I know I have so much more to live for. A new love relationship means everything to me." Very nice

Thank you, Cass, for the prayers while I heal from the operation. My recovery will depend on my perseverance and determination. This, and my new lover, Kelly, will help make my dreams come true. Thanks for thinking of me on the 11th. I will need all the thoughts and prayers I can get while I heal in the hospital.
Cheers, to you, as well.

Comment from RPSaxena
Hello Jesse,
It's a NICE piece of General Non-Fiction having IMPRESSIVE phraseology, CAPTIVATING flow throughout from the very beginning up to the end, and BEAUTIFULLY depicting- The Value of Time!
Description of scenes, situations, and feelings/emotions is REMAKABLE.
"Take time to make time." This line is particularly noteworthy.
SUPERB!

Thanks, Helen. Your supportive review is always great to read. Thanks for your good wishes for me and Kelly and my successful surgery and recovery.
These three are important to me in so many ways. I thank you for your prayers and know that others on this site will be praying as well for me. That makes me happy.
Have a wonderful upcoming week.

Comment from Terry Broxson
Jesse, this all sounds like good news, and I certainly hope the surgery gives you the outcome you desire. Your post brought to mind the song Falling In Love Again. Lots of great artists have covered the song, including Marlene Dietrich, Linda Ronstadt, and John Prine. Best wishes for everything. Terry.

Comment from BermyBye50
Jesse,
This is a timely write with a powerful message we should all heed al year long and not just at this artificial time of giving at the end of the year. All the things we receive will never replace loss of the gift of time never given or received with those we dearly love. We need to cherish and value the gift of time every day for the important people in our lives.
All the best,
Eugene

I agree, Eugene. The need for time from our friends and family is always present, not just at the end of the year for the holidays. Thanks for the positive feedback.
Enjoy the week ahead.
