Let me tell you about Linda

The chick in my avatar. Next Thursday will mark 32 official years but we've been together for 35. She has been through hell and back - and not just for being with me.

- when she was 16 her Dad burned to death with his best friend in his small airplane after it clipped some wires and crashed while trying to return home during a storm.

- a year later her best friend Jane Gill was struck and killed by a drunk driver in front of her eyes during an outdoor barbecue.

- a couple of years later her step dad dropped dead of a heart attack one night during dinner.

- her brother died after battling AIDS 25 years ago.

- her sister died of cancer 20 years ago after a long 7 year fight. She lived her last 3 months with us under hospice care.

- spent all of last year setting her dementia saddled mom up in a nursing home back east.

J.H.C., the girl is a saint.

Talk about a strong woman! And she has you to put up with as well!

Most people would have folded under one or two of those setbacks. You're a lucky man Chula! Happy Anniversary, almost.
