Ya' know, I knew this couple who were truly in love and after they'd been together about 15 or so years, he became ill with several potentially fatal problems. She was his rock and his support through it all and one day she looked him square in the eye and said that even though she knew he really didn't mean for this to happen, although his earlier life had led to much of it, she was really angry at him. She said she knew it was an unreasonable anger but it was there nonetheless and she had to say it.....
So she let it all out and told him how she felt cheated, that the person she so loved, her best friend, had probably cut short much of their life together and ........... well ........ she just felt cheated and was mad about it and had to get it out! The guy wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer, but he understood this all too well. He could do no more than offer a worthless apology along with his sincerest testament of his love for her that any man ever spoke. When it was all over their love was not diminished but was stronger than ever! They became even closer if that was indeed possible.
I think they're up to about 25 years now and no matter what has come along, they hold on tight and know there is only what is........and that's enough for them.
If I hear anything else about them, I'll let you know. Just thought you might enjoy the story.
