I chose wisely.

Over 30 years ago, I vowed to have and to hold “for better or worse”. I may have the words slightly wrong as I was a bit nervous at the time. Never did we think that there would be a pandemic. We planned on kids. We planned on vacations. We planned on moving. We planned on houses. We didn’t plan on a pandemic.

I chose wisely.

Rosemarie is kind. She cares about others. She looks out for a wide variety of friends, friends of friends and strangers. She regularly checks on friends of our kids. (If you treat our children right, you are a friend, no other information needed.).

Rosemarie is beautiful. To this day, she is always the most beautiful woman in the room. She may balk at this one. But truer words have not been spoken. To me, she is beautiful. Gorgeous. Magnificently, stunningly radiant. Mesmerizing. Alluring. Captivatingly pleasing to the eye.

I chose wisely.

Rosemarie is smart. She is thoughtful. She relates to a wide variety of information. She persistently carries on intelligent, thoughtful conversation.

I chose wisely.

Rosemarie is a great cook. (This is not something to be taken lightly in a pandemic situation by the way. This is like hitting the bonus, bonus and getting the gold coins).

I chose wisely.

They say that two statistics see an increase after a pandemic: Birth rates and Divorce rates. I feel pretty doggone confident that we will not be contributing to the increase in either of those statistics. Over thirty years later, I’m still in love with the one that vowed to love for better or worse.
