"Another day in the Life..."
This is the beginning of the 15,966th day in the married life of Davis and his wife. Five hundred and sixteen months ago we planned a simplewedding at 7 p.m. CDT. The day was to be routine with the fulfillment of classes
at the university for me and private studio teaching for her. We
decided to make the day as ordinary as possible, but the plan was to
prepare for an extraordinary life of days together. At 7 p.m. our best
man (the old man who was a mutual friend at 70 years old) rode with us
to the Justice of Peace across the river. The JP and his wife and our
friend were witnesses. The marriage
vows were spoken and promised. And indeed, an extraordinary life began.
The joys, the sorrows, the conflicts, the oneness, the disappointments,
the sickness, the health,
the commitment to the marriage, the personal failures, the treasures
and dividends make this 15,966th day a day I can tell her what I told
her on the 2nd day of marriage, "My Dear, I love you more today that I
did yesterday."
Gratefully,
