Please share this if you love stories of life long friendship. My husband and I went separate ways two years ago yet he remains one of my closest friends. We talk on the phone a few times weekly and he is always welcome in what was once our home -- he can always come here and retreat and eat and visit. Not only does he welcome me into his home 30 miles away, he recently hosted my Mom for two days! Since we ended our relationship as a married couple, we have been nothing but kind and sweet to each other. Today is Steve Grimes' 64th birthday and, because he has a passion for books, DVD's, CD's -- he has not made room in his life for internet or a Facebook page. And so, today, I honor this very special man, sharing this little piece with his family and some of our extended family and friends, via internet. Today Steve is 64. Though we no longer live together, I am very happy to say that I do still love him, now that he's 64. I do still send him Birthday Greetings (perhaps I will buy him a bottle of wine) --- and --- Steve and I are both grateful and delighted to have such a close friendship that has followed on the heels of a 29 year married relationship. HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEVE GRIMES! Now that you're 64, I've known you exactly half your life! Thank you for being my husband, partner, friend, confidant, and teacher all these years. I am posting this as a testimony of true love -- love beyond the typical married lifestyle -- and also for Steve's children so they may have the latest picture of their daddy and know that he is very loved!
