As they say, "good things come to those who wait." I met Ruth when I had finally pretty much given up and stopped looking. When I first started seeing Ruth, it was to visit the sick and shut-ins together. Our first "date" we went to the hospital to visit patients neither of us even knew. When my friend Joe heard that we'd started seeing each other he made a classic statement about a classic woman: "She's a beautiful woman, and she's good-looking, too."
