That's nothing. My father-in-law was more'n 10 years older than my mother-in-law, and my second sister is 12 years older than her husband.
Anyway, Ed - congratulations on turning 52, and on making it home safely. Good to hear you're on the mend, and I hope your convalescence is quick and trouble free.
... and that's what I think.
Or summat.
Or maybe not...
Dunno really....

LOL!!! Sounds like it! He obviously agreed with you. Funny how it goes, I first saw Jill across the room, cliche I know but it was genuinely the old "eyes across the crowded room" moment. I still can't explain it, but it seemed there was just something about her and later to find she had the same "moment" was wierd, but here we are and more in love than ever.
Thanks mate! Was touch and go to reach the day for while there. I do have to be a bit patient as it was a bad break, but the drugs are good and I'm getting spoiled. First day for my ACC home help and turns out the carer is my youngest daughter's first boss! Small world!
Getting lots of visitors which is great and even getting some work done - advantages of an internet based business...

I asked my husband when he knew he wanted to marry me and his answer was "I don't know!" in an exasperated voice. What a romantic......
I am sure your wife is very happy to have you home.

LOL!!! Ah, memories... I can remember sittng in the driveway in the car at my parent's and we were talking, and I wanted to ask her to marry me. You know that awkward feeling, nervous and making nonsense small talk while frantically thinking how to say it..?
We had casually mentioned getting married once and I'd said I thought about 25 was the right age and she'd said 21 was for her, so eventually, when I ran out of silly small talk, I said, (I can clearly remember), "You know when you said you'd like to get married at about 21?" She said "Yes..." her eyes down. I said, "Well, will you marry me when you're 21?" She slowly smiled and said softly, "I'll marry you anytime..."
When we finally went inside, my Mum was fussing in the kitchen pretending to be doing dishes or something, (at 11pm..?) We sat down and I hesitantly said, "Mum, ahhh, Jill and I are going to get married." The greatest Mum in the world, simply said, "Oh, I could have told you that!"

Worse still Ed is when you turn the interior light on and shes fallen asleep (thats never happened to me though)
Forum whore
Ha ha! Me neither, mind you we're not as young as we were, so it could still happen. She has growled at me once for falling asleep while she was talking to me and snoring. It was late and I was tired...Worse still Ed is when you turn the interior light on and shes fallen asleep (thats never happened to me though

you and your wife are cute, I hope when I have been married that long (32 years was it?) that I as much in love as you guys - but I will be a hell of a lot older than you guys - started late! Does your wife ride or pillion? Or both? lol
Forum whore
LOL!!! That's exactly what our daughters say about us!
Yeah we were far too young! But I have no regrets and am very grateful to have someone like Jill now. You know, I stop and think at times when I look at her and see her love and I wonder why me? To think that someone loves you for who you are when you're conscious of your own faults and failings, it's humbling.
She likes to pillion and she's the best pillion I've ever had on the back, completely relaxed and trusting and moves with the bike. I guess after so many years she's comfortable with me. I think she'd like to ride, but is nervous.

babe......i got your number
oh sigh, came in late to this thread, only read the last two pages and its truely inspirational and heart warming to read this wonderful love story. Congrats Mr & Mrs Edbear for taking the time and energy to keep going through the bad times. Its all to easy to walk away from a problem, its all about commitment, love and care to tackle a problem, hang in there, and reap the benefits with a lifetime together. Well done you two and anyone else who has hung in there together, through good and bad.

Couldn't have put it better myself Quasi. Well said!
Ed - you truely inspire me.

You'll make me blush! I'm not special, and we have had our ups and downs but we made it through them somehow. We are very happy now and enjoying each other's company. We've been through a lot together and as a family but no more I'm sure than many others.
I hadn't thought of this as a love story, but I guess it is in a way.

I know exactly what you mean, and could say almost exactly the same thing about me and my wife (including the pillioning bit, although sadly she's spent little time on the back). We've been together 32 years too, and married nearly 28. I don't think we married too young though - I realised I didn't want anybody else, so there seemed no point in delaying it too long once that realisation sunk in.
... and that's what I think.
Or summat.

Well put. We are the same, 28yrs on and happy as, and just become grandparents. Nothing wrong with starting young if you know what you want. We've done a few hard yards but the rewards for hangin in there are great.
and Edbear, (just found this thread), all the best for the recovery
Experience......something you get just after you needed it
Forum whore
Thanks guys and congratulations! I think it's only after you've been married for as long as we have that you really begin to appreciate what a good marriage can be. Our only, (so far), Grandson is now 4 and an absolute delight! To see the bond between him and his parents and to see my daughter with him is very special indeed.
For me, too, I didn't just "fall in love" with Jill, I felt I wanted to take care of her and give her a life she would probably never have had. She came from a difficult background, and while I won't go into details, I saw in her, qualities that deserved a chance to come out. She deserved a good life and a chance to be who I knew she could be, As I said there was just something about her aside from the fact that she was quite attractive and I was committed to her almost immediately.
To see her blossom and grow over the years and become such a wonderful person is something there is no price for. Certainly I have had to mature and change as well but we have grown together when you hear of so many who grow apart which is sad.
