New Year’s, 1951 I am not sure what all passed by… for I never asked about their first New Year’s Day… I should have. All I can envision are two, gloriously in love after four months of marriage, making the best in a small alcove of an apartment, a small tree, perhaps, tinsel in sparkle huge lights too big and heavy for the spiny stems of a small evergreen tree… All I can imagine are the colors and sounds of a very early 1951, the world before them, him in his handsome best, and she in her dreams of youth… then time passed, too quickly, parents thinking by some kind osmosis, children should just know everything that had occurred before their birth… all I know is 37 years later, she kissed him a Happy New Year as if she were that youthful girl and he, he looked at her with his handsome best. How better to celebrate a wonderful life? 42300 [This message has been edited by Sunshine (01-01-2004 08:51 PM).] |

I don't think there is any better way to celebrate! How fortunate to still love like that after all the years. A wonderful life, and a wonderful telling, indeed~ |
