For Better, or Worse...

I like this! It's sure been true in our 50 years of marriage.
 
I took my Wife for an appointment with the eye doctor last week, and as we were leaving, and walking out through the waiting room, it happened. An older couple was sitting at the far end, facing us.:):) The room was empty, other than the four of us, and while we were still a far ways off, he began speaking: "For better or for worse...in sickness and in health...til death do us part". It was not loud, but clearly directed at us. We both stopped and smiled, and I gave him a "thumbs up" and an "Amen", as we walked out of the office. It was a very uplifting moment, that stayed with us.:):) My Wife's check-up went well...her hindsight is still 20-20.:)

When I took my wife to dialysis, we would often meet couples where one spouse would be the dedicated caretaker of the other. Dialysis is a tough deal for both. Four hour sessions, three times a week. Despite all, they were always happy couples. It was uplifting. I actually remember saying the " for better for worse" thing to another couple, myself. We all understood each other perfectly.
