The Beginning

Good evening, Friday evening blog! I am going to talk about love and commitment tonight! No, I am not an expert! It has taken a great deal of time for me to learn these things! I continually thank God for my life and especially my changed life! I did not want that much from recovery, but once it started, I wanted the whole package! Gods ways are so much higher than ours! HE knew what we would be facing! I would not be able to give my Denny the proper care, if I was still a wreck and not able to cope with anything! May 17th, 1975, we became engaged! In 1974, I ran into the back of a car in East Toledo, the night of an explosion at the Sun Oil Refinery! Officer Denny Reed and his partner in the paddy wagon, gave me a ticket! A cab took me to work! Sometime in early 1975, I went to work at Dunkin Donuts! I was recognized, the rest is history! 44 years ago today, we became engaged! We married in 1977! I have shared before, our marriage and relationship, how rocky our lives were! We are both bipolar and undiagnosed! Add addiction from both of us! We were toxic! Way off decision making! But, our love and commitment is the winner! He has Parkinson’s, I prefer to be called anything but caregiver! He is my husband! We have forgiven each other, a lot! I love him, taking care of him is a tall order! God gives me all I need to handle it all! I look past the Parkinson’s and I still see my man and I count it a privilege to take care of his every need! Thank you God, Denny and our children for my wellness! Denny and I will dance in heaven! God bless all of you! Take care of what you have! Denny and I can both sadly say, the grass is not greener! Love to all!❤️🤗🤗❤️This poem sums up us!
