& Joyce:Re: What helps your mouthsores?

[Guest guest]

and Joyce, thank you both for your stories. I so totally can

relate and I too though it was just me. Bert and I married very

young (20 and 22) and next year will be out 30th anniversary. I

can't envision my life without him...he is my life...we " grew up " and

grew strong together. We've had our ups and downs, like most

marriages, but nothing that couldn't be repaired without the " silent

treatment " ;-) for a couple of days. We've been blessed with a

wonderful son and I thank God for all these blessings every day. I

need him around because without him, my life would be so incomplete.

I used to complain about his snoring...now when I go to bed, it's

music to my ears....okay, maybe not music but I'm so happy to have

him hear to snore.

Hugs,

Monika
