I love my Husband just because he is who he is. Loving, caring and thoughtful. He knows when I hurt so much, even though I lose my temper when the pain is so bad.

He gives me space when I need it and he listens to me when I go off on one..I can't say just one thing that I love about him because I love everything about him.

We've been married for 56 years and I Love him now as much as the day that we got married. He's my Husband, my Lover, my Best Friend, and now he's my Carer as well. He's my Everything.

Gjkas in reply toAll_alone

You're right, we never know whats around the corner. Sometimes it's better not to know..

Up until 9 years ago I was a right nutter, so to speak. I was involved with so many different types of hobbies. I made Wedding Cakes, Did a lot of dressmaking. If anyone dared me to do anything, i usually did it. Then i got involved with Gardening, which I loved the most.

I won a few competitions, then eventually went around with some of the Judges. Went to DUMFRIEC in Scotland. To do with Britain in BLOOM. Then when the Screen opened up and the Picture of the 1st garden was shown It was mine.

I couldn't believe it . I shouted out,

( Oh ,Shit that's my Garden ).

Thankfully everyone laughed.

But after that things started to go downhill as far as my health was concerned.

I was taken into hospital in the January and didn't come back home until the end of March.

You try and enjoy life, the best you can, because like you said..

We never know whats around the corner. HEY, you never know who you're gonna meet either.

Have a Lovely Christmas 🤶🎅 and hope you have a real good NEW YEAR.🤞😊 Gjkas

I can feel your heartbeat,

I can hear you breathing near my ear.

Wouldn't you agree,Baby you and me

in reply toGjkas

Has anyone ever told you how fantastic you are? Well if not I'm telling you now...how very kind of you to take the time to type that out..it's one of many of our theme songs, also Phil Collins I think may be one of my all time favorites, followed him for years, he sang Groovy Kind of Love too!... The top song for us is - Solid by Ashford & Simpson, that's what our love is..Solid as a rock!

It's been just loverly chatting on here with you today and getting to know you a tad, I'd love to stay in touch with you!

For you & your love ~ Sparkles & dump trucks of groovy love, peace, light, joy & hugs Gjkas!

Thankyou for being so kind. 🌹

Yes , you're right Phil Collins did sing a Groovy Kind of Love as well as Wayne Fontana.

We build it up, we build it up,we build it up.

And now it's Solid,

Solid as a rock.

Great song, Youve got real good taste in music.

Just like marriage really. We build it up until it's Solid..Solid as a Rock.

Youll probably laugh at this,

But my Favourite Singer is ELVIS.

OOOOOOH He's my Idol.

I broke my heart when he died.

I came out in a terrible nerve rash just after i heard that he'd died.

I was going in hospital for a hysterectomy and when my Gynaecologist saw me he said,

( Oh ,are you that nervous about the operation ) I just burst out crying and said ( No,not about the operation. But ELVIS have died )

ELVIS died in the August and I had to go in hospital September 3rd.

Oh, Crikey I was a right mess.

In May 2005 i wanted my Husband to go to Memphis with me. But we went to Florida 10 months earlier and the flight made him ill. He said he'd never do another long flight again. He hates flying anyway.

Well anyway, i was on the bus going to Town and I met an old Friend of mine. She had lost her Husband 4 years earlier and she said that she would love to go away from it all for a while. So I thought Aha,, and I asked her if she'd like to come to Memphis with me. She jumped at the idea. So my 1st stop when I got off the bus was the Travel Agents.

When I got back home I said to my Husband ( Oh well, im going to Memphis )HAHAHA .You should have seen his face. I told him, Well I did ask you, but you don't like flying. and you did say that it would be more like a Pilgrimage than a holiday. Well he couldn't say anything really.

Well he could i suppose. But he didn't. Well my Friend and I booked up where and when we wanted to go. AND OFF WE WENT.

Well we mustn't let them rule the rouste .I always win anyway.

It was absolutely brilliant, we enjoyed every minute of it. We even went on the plane that he named Lisa Marie. We went down the Mississippi into New Orleans. You name it, we did it. When we got home we were absolutely hanging.

But it was worth it.!!.

Im gonna have to finish this for now, ive taken my sleeping tablets and I'm seeing double.

Well im back Hope you didn't mind me telling you my little, ( LONG )

story Ive really enjoyed chatting with you as well. Id like to stay in touch with you .

You tell me if I'm boring you mind...

I tend to get carried away sometimes...

❤ sending you Hugs & Groovy love..x Gjkas.

Just like marriage, we build it .That's how it stays strong

in reply toGjkas

Okay I loved reading this reply....nothing but positive, you are all about the positive, right? So am I...it breeds more positive for you...

There was not one boring thing I read my dear one!

So Elvis tripped your trigger, sounds like it was one of a great lifetime moments for you, that's fabulous!Okay I'll admit who I sobbed over...yep M.J., my age grew up with him..I know all about the controversy with him...just don't want to believe it...he was such a talented man...I still miss him....I did the same over Princess Diana...man did I love her...

Whatcha think about starting to pm each other? Sounds like a grand idea to me...

Yep let's keep building it up, up up! It's Solid!

Sparkles & dump trucks of groovy love, peace, light, joy & hugs Gjkas!

Gjkas profile image
Gjkas in reply to

Sounds Great yeah,

We can PM each other ,it'll be good to have a chat..

I was gutted over M.J. I don't believe half of what they are saying about him anyway. He didn't have a normal childhood. When he was a man he was more like a shy child.

OOOOOÒH I could go over the top about him as well. What a dancer,,Oh my God, never seen anyone move like that before.

I feel so sorry for him. What a waste.

And Princess Diana, yes i adored her. I can remember queuing in JOHN FROST SQUARE with my Daughter in law waiting to put a little quote in the Book of Remembrance for her.

I hate Charles for how he treated her .He even cheated on her on their Wedding Night ( THE PIG 🐷 )

If ever Horseface Camilla becomes Queen, and her and Charles decides

to visit where i live. The only type of

wave they'll get from me will be 2 Fingers✌ up in the air .

The only time Princess Diana was happy i think was when she had William and Harry. Then when she met Dodi. All she wanted was a Man that she could love and who would Love❣ her. She found that Love in Dodi. OOOh

Gjkas in reply to

Oh Peachy, I don't know about being fantastic, ( Although it's nice to be called it ).I just speak how i feel. I get myself into hot water sometimes, because of it.

I have to tell you this, but you might know about it anyway.

One of the Biographers of the Royal Family was being interviewed.

And he said that ,he was in the room with the Queen when the news of Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed came through about them both being killed in a car crash .

And the only comment the Queen made was,( Oh well, somebody must have greased their brakes, ).

Well to me that says it all.

Then on the TV, the Fireman that was 1st on the scene of the crash said that when the news broke out of the Death of Princess Diana,

he said that he couldn't believe it,because she was conscious and talking to him. She asked him what happened. At that point he broke down and couldn't talk about it anymore.

Then when they were taking Princess Diana to hospital.

Why did the Ambulance stop when they were only a few minutes from the hospital.???

So many unanswered questions,

It makes my Blood Boil.

I know you can have internal injuries and still seem to be okay.

But there's too many, IF ,ANDS,and BUTS. for my liking.

I think this is why PRINCE HARRY is suffering from Anxiety and depression. He knows that something is not right about the Death of His Mum. But he's stuck in a rut. What can he do about it ???.

I had better get off this subject. I think i might have said enough.

Well for now anyway..

Groovy Love & Hugs my Friend.

Oh, when I feel strongly about something, I sometimes don't know when to stop.

I've got myself into a pickle very often because of my views on things. But that's just how I am.

My Husband cringes sometimes because of what I comes out with.

I came off one site on the internet a few months ago because of my views of and about the Royal Family. HUH.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion...

Oh,Oh, gotta go. VISITORS.

Nice ones though..

Yeah, enjoyed our Son visiting yesterday. He's the middle Son,the quietist of the 3 of them. But I love them all equally.

You know, i might sound like a miserable old bugger, but I can't wait for Christmas to be over.

I used to Love it, but not anymore.

I'm in so much pain and depressed at the moment, all I'm doing is crying.

It was my Dad's Memoriam on DECEMBER 10th, my Mum passed away DECEMBER 31ST, New Year's Eve and it was her Birthday on DECEMBER 26TH and my Brother passed away in the January, but not in the same year. He was only 24 years old.

I put the music channel on and Westlife had just started singing

Seasons in the Sun.

And the part where they sang

Goodbye Papa it's hard to die, When all the birds are singing in the Sky.

That done it altogether. It's a sad song, plus i really feel like cap today.

It's a combination of things i suppose. Im going for a Pre Assessment Appointment on Wednesday, have to meet with the Anaesthetist because I'm a high risk for a General Anaesthetic.

Need to have Abdominal Surgery which can only be done under a General Anaesthetic. OH,I dunno..

Sorry to be a pain in the Butt today.

I'm not usually this grumpy..

I'm gonna tell you a few things that's wrong with me. You'll understand why i feel like this. I've got

Chronic Fibromyalgia, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Osteoarthritis and Osteoporosis. I've already had bones taken out of both hands because of the Rheumatoid. Now they want to do a Complete Wrist Replacement, but my Pain Management Doctors have advised me against it because they said that i wouldn't stand the pain after the operation, plus it's such a complicated procedure and its not done very often. I'd already

decided against it anyway. I've got 2 Heart Valve's that aren't working properly, but they can't find a Surgeon that would do the operation anyway, because I wouldn't survive it. Got C.O.P.D,and Asthma .

Have a 16 cm Haitus Hernia, Umbilical Hernia, enlarged Liver, Blocked Bile Duct, Cyst on the Pancreas, Cysts in the Kidney and Gallstones. I haven't been out of the house for over 5 years, except for Hospital or Doctors Appointments.

I only keep these appointment because my Husband practically drags me there. Oh Bless him.

He's as good as gold. He does everything. Washing, cooking, cleaning. He's my Carer.

He's just my Everything.

Oh I've already told you that.

When I have to go in hospital the Doctors call me either their

Nightmare or Trouble..Not being nasty or anything like that. They are all brilliant with me.

I've had Depo Steroid Injection in top and bottom of my Spine. Acupuncture and so much other stuff. The one thing i wanted to try was the Hydropool, but the Cardiologist said that's a no go because the water would be too warm and my Heart wouldn't be able to function. HUH, sometimes I feel like ,Oh i don't Care.

I hope you still want to keep in touch, even though I'm a pain in the butt...

If you don't hear from me for a day or two, it's not because I don't want to, it's because I won't be able to for a little while.

Groovy Love & Hugs my lovely Friend. xx

Wow I wish I had that. For my next partner I’d like a mix between Tom Hanks and Justin bateman, emotionally aware ability to empathize, someone who is patient and kind. A person that has the ability to pay their own bills and be comfortable alone. Someone who likes dogs someone who can self regulate their emotions. Someone who would like to do activities or be seen in public with me. It would be nice if he could be taller but if he has half of what I’m looking for I wouldn’t care if he was in a wheelchair.

Now youve just proved it. Thankyou..

You know. If i had a choice of winning the Lottery or something even nicer. I would pick the Latter.

Because although we could do with the money, I would rather be rid of all this pain. Because it doesn't matter how much money you have, when you are in so much pain you can't enjoy the money anyway...

OOOH, to get rid of all this pain and never worry about it again.

Thankyou so much for your kind wishes, and you go and have your Best Christmas ever ...🤶🎅

And Fingers 🤞crossed, meet the Man of your Dreams.

My husband and I dated for 8 years and have been married for 31 years. High school sweethearts. Besides love the two things that work for us are acceptance and letting the little things go. He accepts me for who I am good and bad and I do the same. As for the little things, there are many that drive me crazy. Not putting dirty dishes in the kitchen, insisting on certain brands of soap, toothpaste and deodarant even if I have to go to three different stores to find the right one and many others. But even though I want to scream sometimes I take a deep breath and remind myself that deodorant really isn't that important. What's important is the unconditional love I get. One more thing I love about my husband is his laugh. It's a loud belly laugh that is contageous.
