Let's Talk About Love

Love is a very popular subject here on the Soup It's the basis of much joy and happiness Without love, we carry on with everyday tasks Missing that someone to share our ups and downs To revel and share in the good times And to comfort each other in times of strife Methinks that describes love very well I've been very lucky in love Most people end up loving one person all their lives I've been fortunate to love two My first wife Linda sadly passed away from breast cancer At the very young age of fifty-nine My present wife Cathie and I have been married For thirteen years... how fortunate can one man be My life has been a series of happy events Believe me, I am definitely one of the lucky ones! © Jack Ellison 2014

Life is a series of ups and downs... If you don't give up... when life is down... Then there will always be another up... The strength of how far up... depending on the strength of love you can show to others.... Happy New Year from Hubby, Dragon, me, Grandpa Troll, penguins, and the others... May your days be lifted with love until you're received into God's love...
