Hi Deborah, thank you so much for your thank you to me for your birthday greeting, i hope you are ok there, its getting so chilly here in England now, i know this site is getting hard to figure out, its like the birthdays, i do them each day and have to write the last birthday down i did, you cannot get them up the last one you did so i do this, find it easy that way, wow you have been married for 47 yrs, congratulations to you both, my partners parents have been married nearly 60 yrs, cannot believe that, i was married for 20 yrs, but it was an abusive marriage, only stayed for the sake of my children, but he did something to me just once too much and i decided enough was enough and left, my kids turned against me, my ex husband bought them with money, so i do not have any contact with them, tried to though, but it does hurt, especially around birthdays and xmas time, but i get on with life the best that i can do, ive found a good man now with stewart and he works , we have a dog patch a 3 yr old springer spaniel dog, you take care now lots of hugs to you christine
