This will probably be the last image I post here (I've deleted all the rest of them except for one). I won't go into the reasons, except to say that my literary partner and I are still trying to find an audience - and it's apparently not with any of the online communities that we have been to so far. Now for the story...this is dedicated to an elderly couple with whom I am acquainted. They met and fell in love over sixty years ago as teenagers - then drifted apart for many years. They reunited in the early 1970s, and - for better and worse - have been together ever since. Of course, they had to hide their relationship from the rest of the world...at least, until recently. Last November, the enlightened voters in my wonderfully progressive blue state decided that same-sex marriages were not a big deal, and finally extended the rights and protection of legal marriage to couples like Penny and Jewel. Penny and Jewel were finally married this past December - aged eighty and seventy-nine, respectively. It was the first and only time I have cried at a wedding.
