46th Anniversary

 In two months, Carol Anne and I will celebrate our 46th anniversary. In those 46 years, we've raised three sons and lived in three provinces.

As I've gotten older, I've stiffened up and now use a walker. Carol Anne -- who's  a physiotherapist -- has been beside me every step of the way.

I love her dearly.

So nice to hear from you Owen.
We are missing your missives, but do understand.
Congratulations on your long marriage!

Sounds like a best-case scenario to me, sorta the way it's supposed to work.

A lovely post, Owen. I find that I am slowing down as well, but, despite his being wracked with considerable pain, my father always said, you have to keep moving. Those are words I live by.

Congratulations on your upcoming anniversary, that’s a big milestone.
Smart move marrying someone who is a physiotherapist. I wouldn’t be as active if it weren’t for physio’s, massage therapists and chiropractors.
All the best to you and your wife Owen and your family. I hope you have a wonderful time celebrating.

It's good to hear from you, PoV. Carol Anne has made all the difference.

Owen Gray said...

That's precisely the point, Danneau.

Everyday is an opportunity to keep moving, Lorne.

Shoot, I forgot to add my name to my post. That was me at 8:37ish am.

Owen Gray said...

We will, Graham. Thanks for the good wishes.

It's good to hear from you Owen. I have missed your posts.

It's good to hear from you, too, Toby. I hope all is well with you.

Hi again from NPoV.

Guess what? My wife and I recently celebrated our 46th!
1979 'was a very good year'.

And just in case you are interested here is my newest project, getting interviewed by my former boss:

1979 was a very good year, PoV.. We got out of home ownership eight years ago. It's crazy.

Congratulations on your anniversary. You certainly married well. A physio. I should have done something useful like that. 3 out of the 4 spousal units were not very useful. entertaining yes, but not useful. To more happy years and more years of writing.

Here's hoping the fourth was the charm ,e.a.f.
