I just finished going through my bottom dresser drawer! It is chuck full of memorabilia -- cards, notes, certificates, report cards, trip momentous, art work, newspaper clippings -- you name it, it's there.
My kids are always giving me and Karl a bad time about arguing -- they call us Fred and Ethel or whatever. That said, Willie joined me in looking through the stuff in the drawer. He found a handmade note he had made -- a red heart shaped construction paper note in very young squiggly penmanship "mom and dad will you lick each other." Yes, he had written "lick" meaning "like". It was very cute.
You see Karl and I do like each other. I love him, actually. But we do disagree and argue -- it is more like an exercise in stubbornness than anything serious now, but we have had our difficult moments over the years. However, we've managed to work through all the tough stuff -- and are now reaping the results and rewards of a strong marriage and devotion to each other and to our amazing kids, sons-in-law, and grandchillins.
