Spreading love, joy, peace, faith & unity

Ain’t Love Grand?

My youngest grandson has had a long-distance relationship
with a girl from Colombia for more than 4 years.
With the help of FaceTime
and occasional visits to/from Switzerland,
they have kept love alive.

Now she’s visiting him in the flesh. Ain’t love grand? God bless ‘em!

When Bob & I were dating
and when we were engaged
(back in the early 1960’s),
he was in the army,
stationed in Germany.
We went two weeks between communication
– one letter at a time.

Ain’t technology grand?
Now we have instant communication!

What was your dating experience
with your loved one?
Was it also way back when?
I’d love to hear about
your “Grand Love”
experience!

Hugs,

  1. In the 46 years that I have known Alice, we’ve been in the same house together about 15 years. During our younger years after college, we followed our career aspirations, but I called everyday. Today, I try to spend as little time as possible at work, and maximize my time with her. Every day is like dating. Flowers just because it’s a whatever day, chocolates because she likes them, a backyard full of colorful flowers because we both like them, three great cooked meals a day to keep our lives healthy, five or more vacations a year to make up for all the ones we missed, a bone crushing hugs to let her know that I care. Each day is a blessing. Don’t waste it for thirty years as we did.

    • Each day is a blessing. So true. Try not to waste even one! Just love one another and reach out to others with compassion and grace. You do that so well, Peter!

  2. That’s very sweet ❤️ I wish them all the happiness! We had land lines (telephones) back in the nineties, but long-distance calls cost a lot of money!

  3. Yes, indeed

  4. How sweet it is!! Love the photos and the stories! 63 years is quite an accomplishment!!
