Its hard to shock me but it happened

Mary, sometimes told relationships, not marriages, can be a good thing.  Several years ago I met my junior high school sweetheart again and we have been happily married for over fifteen years.  Look to the left.  Don't we make a cute couple?

The babies are looking forward to seeing you.

You are very blessed. But then so is Brenda. I sure miss those little imps. You can look at Lacey and just see the mischief in her eyes. I'm sure she will have some surprises in store for me. See you soon. Love, Mary

Hi Mary   I don't usually respond to post like this; but, after reading this I just felt like maybe I should respond.  Do you think that maybe after 41 years, he has gotten to the point in his life where he's realized that life is short?  Maybe there's some sickness he's dealing with?  Maybe he's recently given his life to God and is trying to make amends for things he's done wrong (If that is the reason your marriage didn't work)?  Maybe he just wants to apologize for his past mistakes to have some peace in his life.  If I were in your situation, I think I would meet him over a cup of coffee.  Just to let him say whatever he needs to say.  Then, if it turns out that he's just trying to rekindle an old relationship (and that's not what you desire), you can let him know that.  But...I always believe in giving people an opportunity for apologies and forgiveness.  Just my two cents worth!

Thanks for adding your two cents worth. I do appreciate it. And I have been doing some thinking on it today. My sister and I plan on being in his area for a few hours next month and I will meet with him. If he wants to that is. He may have changed his mind by then. He does not owe me an apoligy. He was 23 I was 16. We were young and had different expectations of our marriage. It was a long time ago and hurt feelings and disagreements have long since been forgotten(by me, I can't speak for him)
As for rekindling an old relationship , I think not. I am a simple solitary person. I have to have alone time. My husband died 12 years ago, I moved in and took care of my Mother and step-father after they passed away. I have been by myself for the past 3 years and I find that I am well suited for this life.
I do appreciate your advice and do intend to try to follow thur with it. Love, Miss Mary
