MY WILLA I LOVE YOU
My Willa
The greatest thing in life is my wife Willa. We got married back in 06 at Turtle Point on the American side of Niagara Falls.
We met at Walmart in 04 because I smiled at her and she smiled back. Back in 03 I lost my wife Linda after 43 years of happy marriage. She was a happy healthy lady one day and dead the next. She died of a brain aneurysm. I had no mother no father no brother or sister no son or daughter and no wife. Life didnt mean much to me anymore.
Willa lost her husband to a motor cycle accident back in 02. He left for a ''ride'' one day and never came home alive. Such is life.
We ''dated'' at the Walmart coffee shop for some time. She thought I was a maintenance man in a furniture factory and I learned she was a nurse in a rehab center in Boone. We went slow and got to know each other. Sometimes we would go to the Sagebrush Steak house for dinner and then go up on the ''mountain'' and sit and talk and watch the traffic go by.
She finally invited me to ''dinner'' at her house in Boone and it was a disaster. The carrots were not ''done'' in the beef stew, there was one potato in the potato salad that was not completely cooked and she had ''sweetened the tea'' TWICE. I think she was a bit nervous to say the least. The green beans were really good and so was the home made bread. We sat and talked on the sofa for a while and I excused myself to go home because it was getting dark and I had almost 40 miles to go to get back home. I kissed her goodbye on the porch and as I was leaving she shouted........ ''WAIT A MINUTE''......''I MADE DESSERT''....... ''PECAN PIE, WITH ICE CREAM ON TOP''...... I took a pass on the pie for fear she may have forgotten to shell all the pecans. In desperation she shouted after me....'' IM A GOOD COOK,,,,,,,,,, LOOK HOW BIG I AM''.......She was not ''big'' but I guess all women think they should lose a few pounds.... we still laugh about that meal. After that we started seeing each other on a regular basis. I finally told her that I was not been a maintenance man in a furniture factory, I told her that I had owned the furniture factory. Our relationship got more personal after that and I finally started having a reason to stay alive again. We dated for a while and I asked her if she had ever been traveling in a motor home. She said no and that she had never been to the outer banks here in NC. She had never been anywhere to see anything. I told her that ''this will change'' if you stick with me. She took a weeks vacation and we went to the outer banks and then down to Wallace to meet her children. Life was good again. I told her that I lived to travel and that she should quit her job so we would be free to travel. She had rental property to supplement her income and I suggested that she should quit the nursing job because I had enough money for both of us. Strange as it may seem we did not ''live together'' at that time. I had great trepidation concerning My Willa. I was not sure that I could truly love again and I absolutely did not want to ''use this lady'' or ''hurt her'' in any way. True, we slept together in the coach and sometimes on the weekends at her house but she still lived in Boone and I in Granite Falls. We would take week long trips in the coach and come back home. Her to Boone and me to Granite Falls. In 05 I proposed that we go to Alaska for four months or so. She was delighted and we left in June and returned in October. Linda and I had been to Alaska in 2000 so I knew my ''way around'' and I was able to show My Willa all the fun stuff between NC and Fairbanks and everything in between. Life was good to say the least. When we returned from Alaska I proposed marriage to My Willa. I figured that if we could spend 120 days together in a 33 foot motor home and still liked each other and that we should get married and spend our lives together. She said ''YES''..... I bought a diamond ring for her and she spent the next months ''Glowing'' and ''Showing''............. In July of 06 I made this wonderful lady my wife and life is good. We ''honeymooned'' in Nova Scotia for a couple of months, came home, put on two front tires on the coach and went to California for a while and then to Florida for the winter. I lost 9 pounds but I smiled a lot......... (nuff said 'bout that)
Since then we have traveled to 49 states and most of Canada. We have logged about 70 thousand miles on the coach and needless to say ''LIFE IS GOOD''. We have been back to Alaska on our second honeymoon on a two week cruise on the Tahitian Princess going up the inside passage.
My Willa and I share life. We are still very much in love and we love to be with each other. She is my life, my wife and my best friend and I truly believe that I could not live without her by my side. We can talk and laugh and sometimes cry together. We share our lives and our love for each other and it is my wish that everyone could have the wonderful life that we share. True, sometimes rarely, we have a difference but it is always put away before bed time and it is usually over something really stupid that means nothing in the greater plan of life as it were. Mere words can not express my feelings for this lady. She is the sunshine that warms my face on a cold day and the cool breeze of summer evenings. She is the warm rain to grow my life and the soft winds that change the seasons. She is all to me and I would be nothing without her. She is my love, my life, my darling wife and when God decides to take one of us, my prayer is that it will be me for I could not and would not live without My Willa
