In reply to Judy. Yes, indeed a long-term marriage is a long book with twists and turns along the way. Thanks for reading and responding! Love, Shirley

Hi Shirley,

Thank you for sharing. I’m in the Book Five resting in God…feeling the comfort of Jesus’s arm around my shoulder… I’m a widow and fell in love with a widower. We had a wonderful time and were engaged then he started to back up…broke our engagement…this is a devastating time…vulnerable with raw emotions.

I don’t know what is next…doing my best staying in the present…moving into an apartment…seeing my counselor…praying…quieting my brain. Am only able to be with “safe” friends and family.

Your article has given me hope…feeling blessed.

Shirley, this is one of your very best. I love the concept of life as books (might try thinking of it like that for myself), and the acrostic was both clever and true.

Shirley, what a sweet remembrance in today’s blog. It also reminds me of how love in a long-term marriage changes throughout the years. Happy Birthday to Jim. Judy
