I read this sentence and knew that it perfectly described me. Still, I turned him down the first time he asked. He was young, immature, and taking on way more than he could handle...me and my three little girls from a previous marriage. But I was wildly in love with him, and the second time, I said yes. We had no money. He did not even have a car! We made it through pure love and believing that a great future was ahead of us.

It ended after 29 years, and I am still reeling from all the finality of it.

I will definitely be reading on to find out what happened after her.
