Ade and I left a party one night and we flipped a coin to see who was going to drive home...we were each as drunk as each other. We made it, as did all our friends! I so love I grew up in that era when life was simple and it was a treat.
I told this story on another thread, but the thread got closed down as being too raunchy!
Ade and I met on a blind date! A mate of mine was a photographer and he was like all little men....small in stature but big on personality! One night he arranged a blind date dinner for all the singles he knew. Although I was not paired with her, the second I walked the the room and saw Ade, I knew this was the girl for me. I made a point of being close to her all night and by the time the night was over we had a date, and.....the rest is history! That was Saturday September 20th 1969.......
Life was not always easy for us, it was only 6 years into our relationship when Ade developed Multiple Sclerosis! Our girls have never known their mother well. Ade lost her sight a couple of times and, I have to tell you, when you have to wipe someones backside when they go to the toilet, it taxes a relationship! You wonder how much personal diginity one has to forego in this life!
But every morning throughout my entire working life I would leave for work before she woke and I would give her a kiss on the cheek and think how beautiful she looked just lying there!
When you get to this age, memory lane becomes an 8 lane super highway, it is crammed with so many events from the past.....and I love that fact that I have been priviledged to be part of it.
I am just sorry we don't look like that photo any more!
Cheers.....Rob
