Sherry & jack plus niece Vickie.

So for today:

I was never out on a real date, until I met my Sherry. I had a girl friend before. My first girlfriend was Betty, she lived in the South Mountains near Valdese, NC.  Betty never knew she was my girlfriend. LOL Then in Belmont I spent a lot of time at Margaret’s house. We kissed as we sat in her porch swing at the Climax Mill Village. At the time the sweetest girl I knew. A sweetheart.

But I met Sherry.  I knew her from church of course but when I was 17, we married and became ONE.

                                                Vernon and Janet

In my lifetime we have known couples that were known by their names.  The names used together for so long they were considered synonymous. Synonyms: Equal, identical, similar or parallel. In our family, saying some names are like saying one word: Odis and Ruth, Junior and Mozelle, Sonny and Collette, Elmer and Lennie, Jim and Shirley, Dick and Kat, etc.

Dick and Kat

Thus Sherry & jack.

Yes, I know, you KNOW many the same. Usually in a family. You also know and remember the feeling when you start using only one name.  Most of the time that happens due to an untimely death. Strange, we use the term, UNTIMELY DEATH, I have never known of a timely death!  Well maybe Hitler.  But none in our family, we missed them, and it was hard to think of one name without the other.

Some things in life are no fun to face, but at times, we must face them.

We lose people in life, one of the worst losses is losing one, and they are still around, i.e. taken away from us mentally by Alzheimer’s disease. The one I remember most was my farmer friend Kenneth. It is so STRANGE and HARD to sit beside someone you knew as a dear friend and you know, but he DOES NOT know you.

I have known of a husband and wife who did not know their mate. That must be the worst SLAP IN THE FACE by nature one could ever have. Living with some one you have shared the most intimate thoughts and actions with, and they no longer know you.

THEY tell me these thoughts are normal as you reach the senior years, maybe ‘THEY’ are right. LOL

Take care and remember to enjoy life when you  can, THEY say. Ok I say and will try myownself.  LOL
