Happy anniversary to both of you! What an amazing testament to love your story is!
I still marvel at it! Thank you for your kind wishes.
Happy Anniversary no matter how many years you want to count! In this crazy world of our anniversaries matter so much.
Nothing is certain in life except for this moment, this second. Right here and now. So? Celebrate today – your special day! It’s certainly something to be happy about, Carol.
Congrats.
Happy Anniversary! I love your story. And it “certainly” sounds as though you’ve found the right man…again. lol
He just won’t stay gone! LOL
Thanks, CC. We are celebrating by my going to meet with Hot trainer, taking Riley to Nose Work class, cleaning house before our housekeeper arrives then collapsing over sushi! Our life now is quite different than it was 43 years ago!
I hope your life is different than it was 43 years ago! But your story is so amazing!
omg, way different! at the same time, I’d gladly jump in a time machine & do my whole life over again, just as it was, to end up here.
Yours is certainly an amazing love story!
I love your re-kindled love story Carol – and that you’ve found such confidence in your man this time around. Happy Anniversary and I wish you many more to come 🙂 ~ Leanne
Considering that he dumped me first time around, it IS a miracle!Thank you, Leanne & Haralee!
What a beautiful and beautifully written post. (I used to think that way too.) Congrats to both of you on whatever anniversary it is.
Thanks so much, Toni!
I think certainty is safety, which we value as we grow old enough to know that living on the edge and like tomorrow does come. One of the reasons my marriage works so well. I feel safe. Safe is the new sexy!
I love that, Kathleen!
I’m with you, Carol – love the certainty of a good marriage. Happy anniversary!
I LOVE certainty- especially in Love. Happy Anniversary!
Hi Carol! I actually love uncertainty in MOST things…but like you, the certainty in my marriage and friendship with Thom isn’t one of them. Congratulations and happy anniversaries! ~Kathy
Uncertainty sounds like the idealistic young women we were. Now, the only thing we’re guaranteed to be certain of is this very moment. My husband unexpectedly died of a heart problem, we didn’t know he had, on Christmas Day. Other than desperately missing him, I may not be certain of anything, ever again. Brenda
Happy Anniversary, Carol! I love your story. I’m glad you found lasting happiness.
We married the same year as you did – the first time. In hindsight, a break would have been nice but not 28 years. Amazing that you did it and survived LOL. Which one of you was the one who kept coming back?
Actually, no one kept coming back. When he was widowed, he dialed me up and said he wanted to remarry. Right out of the chute. We hadn’t seen each other in 27 years.
Fascinating story, Carol. Talk about what goes around comes around! Glad it worked out after all that time.

I never tire of this story and your telling it! Happy anniversary (whichever number you choose) from me (and my first and last husband)!
