When I awoke - -

I think I shall write a book. The title might be "When I awoke, there was an Octogenarian in my bed".

Yes, early this morning, my dear wife reached her 80th year. I have known her for 63 of those years and we've been sharing a bed for the past 60 of them. I don't know how many years are left but I wish that our life could go on forever. She's been my "Rock" through thick and thin and meeting her at an early age was the best thing that ever happened to me.

Well - - I'm not much of a writer so maybe I'll skip the book, but I do enjoy the title.

Then a very happy 80th birthday to the missus, DaveA! Hope you've spoiled her rotten. What plans do you have to celebrate?

Re: When I awoke - -

Give her my congratulations Dave. Yes it's a real blessing to spend your life with someone you really love, the only downside is the sorrow when one has to go before the other, but hopefully that will be a long while yet, well done both of you.
Love the book title by the way, a love story for you and me but a horror story for a teenager.

You only say that when you reach 79.
