Tomorrow is Bern's birthday.
For 15 days, until my birthday, she is only 2 years younger than me!
We were high school sweethearts. I met her because I thought I might need a foreign language for some of the colleges I was applying to.
But it was Latin 1. I was a senior and she was a freshman but both in the same class.
Latin was the only foreign language offered at our little high school
I went to college and three years later she joined me at WVU.
I then went to Harvard Divinity School and after a year came home and we were married. She went to college in Boston the next year.
Then we moved back to Morgantown and I was a social worker while she finished college.
That was a long time ago.
54 years, believe it or not!
Two kids and four grandkids later, here we are.
I love her so, so much.
She is my wife and she is my life.
Happy birthday, Bern....
