They met when my Mum was 16 and my Dad 18. Two years later, they were engaged, and another two years later, they married. To keep it neat, yet another two years later, my sister was born - and then I came along, a mere 14 months after big sis.<br />They did definitely have their ups and downs, for instance when my Dad was unemployed for a while and had to be away from home all week for about a year to re-train in all the new printing technologies that came along in the early 1970s, and my Mum went cleaning to make ends meet. Or when my grandparents needed a lot of care for many years. Or when my sister and I hit puberty and went completely nuts for a while.<br />But they managed it all, and are still together and very much in love.<br />I, on the other hand, am once divorced, once widowed and would immediately say YES if a certain someone would pop The Question, being sure this would be my last marriage - three is the magic number, isn't it?Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-78952959969113331892017-12-14T12:37:18.671+00:002017-12-14T12:37:18.671+00:00Thanks for leaving this very nice comment Maria an...Thanks for leaving this very nice comment Maria and Buon Natale!Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-73044963394649167702017-12-14T12:36:04.271+00:002017-12-14T12:36:04.271+00:00Please don't tell her Jennifer!

Then redundancy, debt, infidelity, strikes and bad winters came along and a few houses and several wives later, I end up living on my own. I wonder if out there, there is actually a marriage that survived in that way.Derek Faulknerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05140363868104172311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-14705443251290790082017-12-13T19:07:24.082+00:002017-12-13T19:07:24.082+00:00I would laugh if it wasn't so apposite and sca...I would laugh if it wasn't so apposite and scary.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-25494788507641775242017-12-13T19:06:43.866+00:002017-12-13T19:06:43.866+00:00Was the statistic 38-26-32?Was the statistic 38-26-32?Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-39086840888257964322017-12-13T19:05:30.790+00:002017-12-13T19:05:30.790+00:00...which they named Rick and when he went on the f......which they named Rick and when he went on the frozen pond they both fell through the ice trying to get him back.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-74978061423742396242017-12-13T19:04:01.355+00:002017-12-13T19:04:01.355+00:00Ha-ha!
