We met in early spring 1963, starting to date. She was 15, I was 16. Got married while I was on active duty in January of 1966. Had our first son in 1970 and our second son in 1971 then as they approached their teens, we had our third son and first daughter in September 1983. The road was never smoth but we went to Montego Bay for our 50the in 2016 and plan to see Jamaica again in 2021.

High school days I listened to Lesley Gore sing Day dreaming Sometimes feeling like a fool You Dad’s car I gave you my high school ring Friday nights Trying so hard to act cool Days flew by Spent so much time together Two young kids In a small world of their own Your Dad’s car Sunshine or stormy weather Drive in show Soda and an ice cream cone. Years go by Felt the sunshine and the rain Stood together Butting heads against the wall Life went on Took the happiness with the pain Staying strong When the storms passed we stood tall Stories told By the lines carved in our faces Photographs All those memories make me blue Thinking back To other times and other places After all these years I’m still in love with you.
