i’ve already put her name on the deed to my house (replacing my late wife, Holly's name) and given her a unique ring: Two slivery, small diamond bands We are two strong personalities This is our second marriage to each other (*) Red ruby stone in the center holding the bands, us, together in life, the blood binding our love Should (when I pass,) she can replace the ruby with an onyx for a window's ring I suggested she wear the ruby as a charm or whatever she wants Bob Wilson * - I hired Stephie as my house keeper in the last five years of Holly's life. I told Stephie to help me clean up but "Your first job is to be friends to Holly as gals need gals and Holly is house bound." Stephie would bring her grandkids and that bought great joy to Holly. But kidney failure eventually took Holly away in December 2020. The next month, Stephie's mom who was in Stephie's hospice care passed. In our joint grief, we became close and I tricked her into marrying me. But after 18 months, the grief passed and she wanted to be free of the marriage. The oldest of five boys and "caught" by Holly, I was a poor husband with no understanding of how to be with a woman who wasn't Holly. Then three years passed. Stephie learned in spite of my flaws, I was more desirable than others. I never stopped loving her but learned how to be a better husband. So we are joint owners of my former, just a widower owned home. She has a unique ring. The rest is paperwork we'll eventually get around to. I am so lucky!
When I was married, my father-in-law said to me "lykkelig fremtid," which is Danish and apparently wishes a happy future. I still can't pronounce it, but, you know, for the most part it has been a happy future -- you just have to look at it from the right vantage point. So, I pass it along to you: Lykkelig fremtid kris
