2x2x2x2x2

It was 32 years ago today my wife and I met.
That’s a fair bit of time. Not quite 1/3 of a century. That will be next
year.
But, it is nice to be a power of 2. Computers are big on those and my wife
and I both do a lot with computers.

There are a lot of good memories in those 32 years. And, plenty not so
good too.
A surprisingly large number of people have tried to break us up and/or keep
us apart.
Family, people I thought were friends, mentors, and even strangers have
tried over the years.
Some of them have come very close to succeeding. Sadly there is still
plenty of damage and wreckage in our lives from all those people trying.
Yet, we go on.

My wife and I are not always in sync with each other.
But, when we are we can create truly wonderful things.
There isn’t anyone else I’ve ever met that has come close to being able to
do that with me.
It honestly baffles me that all of those people can’t see that.

For as long as I can remember I have had a goal in life to create more than
I destroy.
Working with my wife that is possible.
On my own, it is much less clear.
How can people who claim to know me not see that my wife helps me
accomplish my life’s goal better than anyone else?

Maybe after 2^5 years they will give up.
That’s a nice thought.
Maybe they will.

I am so sorry that people want to destroy your happiness. Happy anniversary of your meeting!

I hope you two will always have more happy memories than sad or bad. I hope you always have each other to take refuge in from the world.

32 years is quite an accomplishment! I'm relieved to see someone else noting powers of two milestones; I'm aiming for 64 years with my wife. I'm glad that no one has succeeded in driving you apart - in my world you two make a great team.

I'm a bit worried about the 2^6 as it is only -190 days from the mean time to system failure for me.
That's cutting it a bit close.

Agreed! You are both wonderful people, and a great couple!

Hooray!

It's taken me a little bit (and I am very grateful to our friendship over the years with the three of us) but I can
see the dynamic and the "mutual support" the two of you share.

I think many times with the jerks trying to destroy your relationship are badly hurt themselves and feel rather selfish
because since they've never actually experienced that kind of bond, they don't really know how to relate to it, and,
since they can't understand that, no one else should be able to; therefore: cause a rift. Now [you] suffer the same trauma this
person did, NOW they can "relate" to you better.

Anyway. I'm very glad you're still together and it's always a work-in-progress, and that the results are by majority good ones.

I'm still greatly amused at how Malterre took you to task in the game of Superfight at Game Night talking smack about Tolkien
characters. That was Epic. That's the good stuff :D

Congrats to you both! Here's to many more good years to come! (hopefully with fewer jerkfaces in them)

Happy Anniversary!

Lovely and happy belated anniversary!!

Christian was so gald after we went out on Saturday that he does not go home alone as he has me. :D

[fbhjr.livejournal.com]

It is much nicer if you don't have to go home alone.

[anwyn-elfmaiden.livejournal.com]

Yes :)
