Oh yes, we've been married 35 yrs...not all sweet and nice...but we are in a great place; it's worth all the angst...I feel taken care of....I try to reciprocate when I can...we have grown through the experiences. I no longer question why this and that occured. I know now, in older age, that experience is the great teacher (my dad told me that before he died when I was 17, and I thought he was crazy).
I am healing...but it's difficult to get out of a chair, or grab something with that ouchy hand. So I know it's slow and steady. Whatever...learned a lot from this small experience...isn't that great?
