The heart is heavy

A love story starts one day in October 44yrs ago when two people said I do. A dream for them both comes to life as they enjoy the sacared togetherness of marriage.  Separated for long periods cause of his military service but the distance was never to much for their love. God blessed their union and nothing would change it. So over the vast Miles their hearts sent out signals that each one would feel and receive and keep them hand and hand. The distance did not weaken them it gave them strength to make it back to each other and departing the next time became heart breaking.  The longing for each other taught them patience because they knew their love would maintain there strength.  Finally his retirement came and now they can in person together hand in hand be side-by-side and the dream of loving each other goes on and on.
