In time the baggage becomes less important. Lovely thoughts on your marriage, Bill.

William Dotani Mar 26, 2010, 8:24am UTC

Yes, there is nothing more important from the past or present than her.

Youth seems to thrive on passion. As we get older, shared experiences make bonds of love stronger. (Still a little passion once in a while is nice too.)

William Dotani Mar 26, 2010, 8:25am UTC

I always seem to feel sick and yet she stands by me. Love is and passion is natural.

"Dreams together our pillows shared

A smile of when, today’s tomorrow

Forever are we beginning"

Do like the ending, William...always a new beginning.

I love this one William! It speaks volumes about the journey through life that exits when a couple has a loving honest relationship. Problems arise, storms are weathered but the love between a couple helps make all those times easier.

William Dotani Mar 26, 2010, 8:33am UTC

Exactly. Thank you.

Very nice Bill....but no matter what I read like this I think of my sweet as a puppydog kindred spirit that I just found out Sunday passed away! I just can't stop wondering "Why him?"!

William Dotani Mar 27, 2010, 10:26am UTC

We all have appointed times for this life. I could have easily been killed last week. If I had of started to turn just one second sooner and the guy going 70 MPH that hit my car would have slammed into the driver's side door where I was sitting. Life is the moment. We can only celebrate the past or drown in sorrow.

Deb J. Mar 27, 2010, 10:56am UTC

Thanks for understanding and putting some perspective on this situation Bill! I appreciate it and you ARE right!

A touching and simply lovely write, Bill. The message you convey through your mastery of words stands as a testament to all who experience and cherish a never-ending love. Every day starts anew that which was ignited long ago. I bow to you!
