My goodness, Stephen! What a heartening story, well written. Thank you for the imagery and the warmth of it. I'd like to have seen your house, both early on and after you worked on it.
Stephen, thank you for sharing your story of warmth and realities of married life. Anyone who has been married for forty years can identify with the pain, forgiveness and determination to keep going anyway through it all. I love all the details you used to paint the picture for us! The mouse jumping out of the drawer!!

Thank you, Ann! That first house was an ongoing project; while a marriage is not a project, the metaphor held.
So very beautiful. Yes. Asking questions. Listening.
Thank you so much, Joyce.
Stephen, your your words are like a gritty shower for the soul; May you be blessed by the Divine Trio.
Thank you, Stacey. I will take "gritty shower for the soul" in the positive sense. :) And thanks for the blessing.
What a journey! So relatable! Have a happy anniversary!
Thanks so much, Rosemary!
So beautiful, happy tears, your story so heartwarming.
Thank you, Elize!
Happy Anniversary. Enjoyed the reflection on 40 years together.
Thanks, Don!
Just beautiful. And, of course, I can relate. Maybe most people can. Happy anniversary.
Thanks for that, Sally!
If this becomes a memoir or book of short stories, sign me up to buy it, promote it.
