""Yet, I occasionally hear her humming, or singing lightly when she thinks she's alone, and I am totally charmed. (did I mention that I'm still in love?) Go figure""

Me too, in every detail Deckman. Only myself, and one fortuitously present friend have any idea of the wonderful voice of which the world at large is totally unaware.

I have failed, in forty five years of trying, to persuade her to let that voice be heard outside of our home.

Sad, because I feel I have failed her, and I too am still madly in love after forty five years of marriage this April 3rd.
