I’ve submitted Chapters 7-10 for posting this morning. It was quite bittersweet as I reminisced while reviewing them. “Elaine” and “Boyd” taught me so much about love, trust, and marriage. Not to mention how damned complicated life can get, especially for somebody in my line of work. Without them, my wife and I would never have had a chance. I won’t spoil the bittersweet part, but even now, as I write this blog post, my heart aches.
My wife’s spent the past week with clients, and as I pack up to meet her for a weekend together, I find myself reflecting on another of the lessons that couple taught me. Once you’ve read the entire account, I hope you’ll have a better understanding of how an idiot like me and the woman I love more than air itself made our marriage work over the past three decades. It certainly would not work for most couples, but the lessons we learned have worked for us.
As a reminder, it’s my turn to play road warrior next week. As such, I’ll plan on posting the last of the account upon my return. However, if I get enough downtime and access, I’ll see about doing the final edits and dropping one or two chapters earlier. No promises. These clients are moody. Sigh.
