Successful Marriages

I love to collect happy marriage stories and examples. If you look for them they are easy to find. One of them is Trudy and Al. They were sweethearts from the get go. Trudy is a feisty loving New York lady. She teaches me things like "When you gotta go-- go. Nevah hold it." and "it doesn't matter what you think it matters how they feel." Trudy married Uncle Al Charrier. Trudy was a foster child. Trudy loved life and Al. I found out that Trudy is dying. I hate cancer. I know that we will see each other again but I miss them in this life, now. I ache for Al. He sounds really lost and lonely. She didn't know him today at hospice. It all seemed to happen really fast. They don't even know what kind of cancer it is. I loved listening to her. I loved teasing her and listening to stories about my dad, Aunt Sue, my Grandparents and how much she loved Al. I'm glad to have had her in my heart and life growing up. I'm glad that she and Al had a successful marriage. The down side is it makes separation almost unbearable. I hope Al will be OK, he is amazing. He is the most fit man of his age I know. He loves to walk and we love to talk to Uncle Al. I think he is the most handsome of the Charriers, my dad always thought so too. The are only one month apart and lived together for many years. My dad adored Al. It is fun to be a Scharrier because there is so much love. I cried listening to Aunt Sue console Al by phone "it will be OK darling." They are all so sweet on each other-- it is wonderful to belong. Al would love for Anthony to change the Scharrier back to the real spelling of Charrier. My dad wanted to do it but he was FRUGAL, and never spent the money. Anthony wonders if he should change his name before he has kids. I hope he has kids so the Scharrier name lives on. I'm sick about Trudy... she will really be missed in out family and our hearts.
