Today is our 53rd wedding anniversary. I can hardly believe it myself. Weird things happen when you have been living with someone that long. You both change a little. For instance, I no longer get jealous when he looks at another woman. I’m just glad he can see. I no longer wish he would help me around the house. I just wish he would leave it for a little while each day. We no longer fight about money. There isn’t any and very little chance of suddenly getting some. We’ve left behind that battle.
