Yep.
There it is. All over
FaceBook. Today is my lovely wife’s
birthday. About 29 years old, as I recall. Maybe a little younger. I get confused with this new-fangled way of
doing math. But however old she is, she’s
been a real sweetheart to me for the last 40 40 plus years. She came through with three amazing boys, and
she’s a right decent Nana/Nani to their kids, too. I’m prepared to keep her around for as long
as it takes. And I predict it will take
a long time. A very long time.
Speaking of Chris, she witnessed a car
wreck yesterday. I was with her, but I was
otherwise occupied, I think with my cell phone.
It was actually just a little fender bender. The guy right in front of us ran into the car
in front of him. The car that got hit pulled
into the service station right there at the corner of Stewart road and 61st
street. But the offender did not stop. He was making a getaway attempt. Excitement happening, right before our very
eyes. What else could we do? We felt sorry for the poor guys who got
hit. Hope his insurance rates don’t go
up too much. It’s just not fair that he should
have to suffer for something that clearly wasn’t his fault. So we did what any advocate for fairness
would have done … we chased him.
Actually, we just kept going the direction we were headed anyway. When we got close enough to him, I snapped a
picture of the back of his car to get his license plate number. Nailed it.
We had him. Incriminating photo
in hand, we headed back to the service station to check on the other guy and
offer up our witness statement. Chris
pulled around and entered the service station parking lot from the back. She drove to where the other guy had been
parked, but he wasn’t there anymore. I
guess he decided not to report it. Oh,
well. So much for our attempt to be a
hero. Hey, if someone rear-ended your
little red car the other day, let me know and I’ll send you the photo.
Well, it’s time for week two of water
therapy, so I’m off. Happy birthday to
you, Chris. I love you.
Colossians 3:18-19 says, “Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.”
Father, thank you for my wife. It’s hard to say anything more, because it
just wouldn’t be enough. Amen.
