Love Happens

Nancy's Notes 🖊️🎶

Written for Weekend Writing Prompt #367 using the required
word “party” in exactly 88 words; Weekly Prompts Weekend Challenge,
with the required word “peak” and Weekly Prompts Wednesday
Challenge using the required word “sunset“. Here’s my flash.

Yesterday was our anniversary, wed 52 years. No party necessary.

None of our friends who married around the same time are still together. How sad is that?

People have asked “What’s the secret to a long and happy marriage?” For us it’s pretty simple: respect, communication, honesty, having a sense of humor.

When you combine those ingredients, love happens. You can manage the lows and celebrate the peaks, watch the dawns and the sunsets, walk hand-in-hand through the ordinary and make it extraordinary.

That’s us. Uncomplicated. Happy together.

    1. Thank you so much, Selma, for your lovely comments and good wishes!

      When the right one comes along, you know …. and I see that you know! We are among the blessed and never take that for granted. If we stay by each other’s side and always remain open and honest, we can get through anything.

    1. Aw! Newlyweds! I remember that stage of our marriage. When I was 23 and married 2 years, I couldn’t imagine ever being married for 50 years to the same person. I’m living proof to say it’s possible! With the right partner, anything is possible.

  23. Happy Wedding Anniversary for you yesterday Nancy. The only other people who I knew personally to reach 50 years were my grandparents on my father’s side. I think Dylan’s ‘Wedding Song’ is in order to cap this off. lol
