I married the love of my life. It happened in front of a waterfall in Glacier Nat'l. Park, conducted by a Blackfoot Tribal Judge with her husband and daughter as witnesses. It wasn't a religious ceremony but was certainly a spiritual one.

This is the second time around for both of us after dating for 4 1/2 years which didn't include living together. We've had some rough/tough roads along the way, as do all marriages, but though we don't always agree on things, we've never had a fight. When asked about how things are going, I simply answer with "good wife, good life." Again, I'm sure many of us can relate.  cooldude

If I were still married to my first wife we would be having #60 in August. To this day she regrets her actions back in 1987 & '88 that brought it to an end. We get along fine as do my Rita and her. I'm glad we do....we have 31 years of history and four lovely gals.

John,

Your journey of life has been an amazing one, indeed... I might add that it is also one worth learning about. I appreciate the way you share slices of that life without editorial glamorizing or embellishing... I draw strength from seeing how unimaginable pain and tragedy can co-exist with so much good going on, as well... Congratulations on becoming you and being you... Give Rita a hug for all of us, too, please...

I hadn't thought of that, but you are absolutely right. John has a unique ability to lay it all out there.  cooldude
