Money Is Not Romance Its Only Paper True Romance You Can't Buy, It Has To Come From The Heart

       The other day I went to see my doctor, then stopped for a cup of coffee. I saw this couple laughing out loud. They looked so happy.  I said hello and told them my name and then I asked if you dont mind may I ask how long have the two of you been married? The man answerd with a big smile  for 57years and still counting .
         So I asked if they would not mind  I would like to interview them. I wright a column about to keeping the spice in a marriage.  They both said yes with a smile. When they told me about their life from years ago to now. I was for lack of a better word speechless and I most say quite stoned . Just for the simple fact that .People who have been together that long and they still find ways to make each other laugh and I mean out loud.It"s amazing to me still.I asked if they had any kids They only had 1 child unfortunately they lost him in to the war in Afghanistan.I told them I'm sorry to hear that.
         When this couple first married they didn't have much. But they made due with what little they had. They told me that they ate alot of soup and or just cheese sandwiches. Until he got a job as a butcher. He kept that job even though it did not pay much. Because he had a wife and soon a child to care for.The wife told me how he used to bring her a peace of fruit from a market he used to pass everyday on his way home.
           But Fridays was their spacial night 2slices of pizza and a soda pop with a candle. Even though times got better for them over the years . They had a child to raise and to teach him that there is a right and a wrong way to do everything .Always remember to mind your manners no matter what others may do. Because you are a representation of your parents. They both said that their son made them proud.
           Over the years a lot has changed from when they first meet. Life all around them has changed. They have been to so many funerals of friends and family that have past on . But Friday night was still their special night. Even these days they can afford a whole pie. They still get 2 slices 1 soda  and a candle and some old tunes as they called it just to keep the spice in their life. He said he sometimes gets a good fresh shave & She said sometimes she may get a few pin curls. In case they may go out for the pizza. I told them both Thank You. May Their Romance live for ever. Before I left I brought them cupcakes.They gave me one back and said we still like to share.
