The boys are doing well. S26 has completed his Marine Reserve commitment, is working, and has been with his girlfriend for several years. S25 is currently in school learning to be a commercial diver, which he is really very excited about, finally something that excites him! S19 is in his Sophomore year in college, and seems to be doing well. He is into the student life, goes to most of the home football and basketball games, and a few of the other sports now and then. S16 is on track to graduate from high school a year early, which is sneaking up rapidly! He still wants to be a surgeon, he's been set on that for years!
I was looking back through my threads.... you know it would be a book? Probably multiple volumes!
I found this, from March, 2008:
I'd like a W with a sense of humor, where every single thing didn't have to be serious.
I'd like to hug, and hold hands, and kiss. Not 24/7, ok, maybe for a while 24/7. But not have to worry about a hug being rejected, on a cheek turned into a kiss.
I'd like good enough to be good enough sometimes. Not all the time, but sometimes.
I'd like sex to be something other than hurry up, I want to go to sleep. Don't know what that would be like. Actually any sex would be a start!
I'd like to be respected, and be able to respect my W.
I'd like to be able to talk bout something, have different opinions, and be able to hug, and go on.
It's a pretty good description of my new marriage!
