Hi
This is a nicely written story about how simple love can be and also how it comes when you least expect it and aren't looking for it. It also shows how the right couple can balance each other out. He sounds like a great guy.
I can understand how this could have put space between you and Katie.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Have a great weekend.
Joan

Esther, you are such a trail-blazer. I love that in you. Your write well and I hope you continue doing it.

Your story about meeting up with Gary is so out of the ordinary. Did you have problems with Katie when you married him? Thanks much for sharing.

    Tough question. I didn't, and still consider her my friend but I think she was hurt. Gary isn't a communicator and never told me any details, just said "she wasn't the marrying kind".

This is a funny theme about the thinker. You really played it out well. This is a nice tribute to Gary: "I wouldn't trade my logging, shooting, fishing, gun-toting redneck for anyone in the world. He keeps me laughing." This is a very happy summary.

Hello Esther,
It sounds like you made the right choice, if you've managed to be together for eighteen years.
When I was in the navy, I spent a little time in Philadelphia, and went to the Rodin museum. There was a copy of The Thinker outside of the museum. It's an interesting sculpture. Thanks for sharing this. I hope you have many more years of bliss.
Blessings,
Tom

I don't really dislike that many people, just avoid most. But in the short time I've listened to you talk about Gary, I've come to think he's probably one of those few people I really like and would enjoy hanging out with. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

The stars are for your happiness and laughter. That's what I miss the most with Mike gone. He made me laugh regardless of how bad the situation was--especially toward the end. I miss those moments! I am thrilled you have found "your stabilizer," and he can navigate you through the tough times. Enjoy every second, Esther, because you never know when it could be gone.
Smiles and hugs, Carol

I am glad you were so lucky. You both are smiling to beat the band there. He looks big and cute. I bet you get to sit in his lap.
You told this well, And when you said you didn't know what the " Thinker" was sitting on. I lost it. I pictured him on a toilet. That's deep thinking indedd. Karen

    Me too. I have never seen a man in that pose. I should have found a picture of the statue to put on the story...

    I find that when I can't find what I need for my story, I choose something like a flower. cartton, or animal. Karen

I don't think there's any instruction in the bible for whom one chooses to marry or indeed choose the other half that completes us, but whoever makes you happy, and indeed is the one for us, my mother in law disapproved of me. but after 52 years we are still together. Beautifully written Esther, well done, blessings Roy

What a heartfelt story! Your writing shines with humor making it impossible not to smile while reading about your journey with Gary. The way you've captured your relationship and the joy you find in each other's company is fantasic. Here's to many more laughter filled days with your wonderful redneck!
