I met Linda on a blind date many decades ago. We were both grade 5 teachers and had each recently come back from traveling abroad.
We had much in common and enjoyed each other so much that, 7 months & 4 days later, we got married.
There were lots of challenges. But, we overcame them. Now we are so happily married that this happens: Often when I meet complete strangers, one of the first things I automatically do is brag about my wife.
