Someone stole all of my hearts. They're gone.

[LuckyCharms]

It figures.

Probably Nevilledog.

1. Someone stole my heart, but I didn't let her get away with it

I always make sure she is where I can find her, if I need to

[LuckyCharms]

2. Ah! You're a lucky man!

[DFW]

6. I first laid eyes on her in 1974, when we were 22

We will both be 70 this year, and she still looks fabulous (to me, anyway!)

DUer 7wo 7rees took this photo when we met up in Dallas less than a year ago:



I'd say I'm a VERY lucky man, indeed!

7. Link isn't working for me...I'd like to see it!

[DFW]

10. Something is weird with it. I will try to fix it! n/t

[DFW]

12. FINALLY!! You should be able to see it now.

For a two-time cancer survivor, she wears her (almost) 70 years rather gracefully, I'd say.
(But who am I to say? I'm biased.........)

[LuckyCharms]

13. Aw! You both look great! And neither one of you look your ages...

Your wife is very pretty, and you ain't so bad yourself!

Your wife looks extremely similar to my first long term girlfriend, especially in the first picture you posted above. Same color hair, and I believe same color eyes with similar facial structure.

Thanks for posting the pics!

14. When I first saw her, it was in a crowded cabaret in West Berlin

A mutual friend introduced us, and my first reaction was WOW, but nerds like me never have a ghost of a chance with a woman like that. Just in time, it dawned on me that if I maintained THAT attitude I never WOULD have a chance with a woman like that. She was from a rural area in the farm country of northwestern Germany, and had never before met an American that spoke German. I had no idea what kind of line to try on someone like her, so I didn't try any, just said hi and started talking. Whaddya know, that was all she was looking for. She was tired of guys hitting on her with stupid lines. America was like the dark side of the moon for her back then. She never imagined she's ever see the place, let alone have a connection to it (one of our daughters now lives there). Instead of taking offers of modeling jobs, she instead opted to become a social worker.

My wife likes visiting America, but has decided that she doesn't want to live there. When she said, "come live with me on the banks of the Rhein," of the several answers that came to mind, "no" was not one of them!

15. Warms my heart!

16. 48 years ago this year!

Where DOES the time go?

[LuckyCharms]

18. I was actually thinking about that in the shower this morning...

I'm 63, and I do not think that either one of us is terribly old, but I was thinking that my mom passed away about 10 years ago, and it seems like yesterday.

It's like...ZAP!...you're older!

This concept was bothering so much one time, that I looked up... why does time seem to fly by as you get older. The answer is probably common sense to most people, but it didn't click with me until I read about it.

When you are 7 years old, a year seems like an eternity, because it is a large portion of your life experience. It's one seventh of your entire life.

At age 63, a year is one sixty-third of your entire life, so your relative perception is that it flies by quickly.

[DFW]

19. Perception is everything

Your collective life memories at age 7 are minimal compared to age 63. I don't know of a lot of 7 year olds being asked to write their memoirs!

[7wo7rees]

21. You are blessed!! But then you know that already.

Love you both lots!!
You are a very fortunate gentleman.


But then you know that.

[DFW]

22. I am stupid and ignorant

But I am NOT so stupid or ignorant as not to realize how fortunate I am to have her.

As one of the few DUers who have met her, I don't have to offer you proof. You know.

3. Have some lungs 🫁🫁🫁🫁🫁🫁🫁🫁🫁🫁

Lungs for the Lounge

[LuckyCharms]

4. Hey Hendry, hurry up! My mother's gonna make some fresh

[Donkees]

5. That's worth 10 more 🫁🫁🫁🫁🫁🫁🫁🫁🫁🫁. So far, you're ahead of Lungs for the Lounge

8. Hardly a laughing matter

They ARE after your lucky charms 🔹❤️🍀🌙

9. I seriously admire people who can use emoji's (is that what they are called?) correctly.

I try to use them on my phone when I text, but I always screw them up and usually send the wrong ones, conveying the opposite of what I'm trying to say.

Especially the faces...I misinterpret them!

11. Heartless.

[Harker]

17. Maybe they're in San Francisco.

20. At least they were kind enough to leave the ones in our chests.
