An Angel From Above

48 years of love

I found you my friend, and we became sweethearts on Valentine’s Day in Fontana, California, in 1963. How can I ever forget? You were only 17 and I was 23. I believe God had this all planned in our pre-existence as spirits in heaven. I came down to Earth way before you and never found my sweetheart till I met you. Now you know why I always sing the song, “Only You.”

Let us reflect back and look at our wedding picture…wow, what a good looking young couple we were, starting a new life together. We had no knowledge of what marriage was really all about. Yes, when I told my mom that I was going to get married, all she asked me was “Does she know how to cook?” I said, “I don’t know.” My mom looked at me and finally said “Good luck.”
