This day holds many memories for me, some wonderful and some not so wonderful. In 1970 I married Bob Schaefer on this day in Blair Nebraska. If you've ever seen our wedding picture, we were soooo young. I a nursing student, Bob a USMC corporal.
On this day also, in 1977, Bob told me he didn't want to be married any more, and that he wanted a " trial separation". I guess its working because our "separation" has lasted 31 years.
Christmas time was very hard for many years and often, Jill Joe and Debby were the only reason there Christmas at our house. But time really does heal wounds and kids grow into beautiful human beings and provide a most special gift of grandchildren.
For many years now, I feel luckier than the last and once again I am overwhelmed with that feeling. Jerry and I had such a lovely afternoon with Debby, Abby, Mike, Don and Lainie. Good food, funny games and love all around. I only wish we could all be together, but things change and my life is blessed.
Guess, thats why Christ came.
