My parents were married for 69 years before the passed away just 3 weeks apart. I was married twice, too, the first for 10 years, the second for 31, so I added to the statistics. But it is unlikely I will marry again. I don't know if anyone could stand me long enough to make it "successful"!! In becoming strong, I suspect some would find me stuck, rigid, opinionated. And I am! My mosaic is strong!Lyniluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04742585512852240355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28840534.post-29562403319063824742012-11-27T22:02:51.869-07:002012-11-27T22:02:51.869-07:00I published your comment this morning, then, befor...I published your comment this morning, then, before I could respond, the internet went out! So, I'm finally back.<br /><br />Another analogy I've used in the past is a tapestry. I figure every event is a thread that weaves together to make the pattern that is my life. If you think about it, each thread is tiny, easily snapped, but the tapestry is very strong. that's how I see the two of us, RET.<br /><br />:)Lyniluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04742585512852240355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28840534.post-17372087884796892632012-11-27T17:36:23.346-07:002012-11-27T17:36:23.346-07:00Long-term close relationships are hard no matter w...Long-term close relationships are hard no matter what the circumstance. But throw in a troubled personality and it takes a strong partner to survive through it all. Luckily, that's just what you are.<br /><br />My son was just telling me about a couple who got married a year ago September with about all the glitz and glamor you could expect in a wedding these days. I wondered how they could afford it (our son was an usher). Just heard today that they are getting a divorce. Barely made it a year.Big Dave Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18363712781308133633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28840534.post-44437970081003517422012-11-26T23:39:08.453-07:002012-11-26T23:39:08.453-07:00Wow.

Thanks for sharing all of this because I feel closer to you because you have shared so openly about all you have been through. I understand at a deep level what you have been through because of similar experience in my own life. Thankfully, I too no longer live in that atmosphere. <br /><br />I love the quote and photo of the mosaic that you shared. You have healed because you recognize what happened to you and you worked hard at putting the pieces together again into a beautiful new picture of you and your journey through life.
