Words from a Reader

The “Writing Life Stories” e-mails I receive are such treasures. As soon as I see there is one in my inbox, I read it immediately. I look forward to them and never know how they will touch me. They can be interesting, informative, humorous, and/or touching.

Forty Years of Marriage and still in love


 Happy 40th wedding anniversary to Stu and Gay, two wonderfully good people.


My sister, Gay, has the biggest heart of anyone I know. She has a Master's degree in Counseling and is a compassionate and caring person. I am grateful to have her in my life. I wrote a story about her that was published in an anthology. I could write a book about her.



Stu Moring, an engineer and super person, has won numerous awards for his work. This Chicago man met and married my southern sister and they have lived happily for forty years. The two of them helped me through all the dark places in my life.

Gay raised a squirrel when she was in high school. He grew up fat and sassy. She released him to the outdoors when she left for college. He could be seen close around our house for a long time. But he finally found himself a mate and left for good.

Today Gay and Stu love and enjoy Smokie, a darling little Schnauzer and a three year old, Sunny, who came from Logan's Run Rescue. These are the luckiest dogs in this world.



Aren't they cute?

  1. How wonderful! Yes, those doggies are lucky, but Gay and Stu are also lucky to have each other and forty years of marriage behind them. I had to try several times before I found my guy, but now it's almost been twenty years we've been together.

    And it's so wonderful to have a sister who supports you in the hard times and celebrates with you in the good times. I've got one of those, too. Happy New Year and keep up the good work! :-)

  5. Glenda, what a nice post about our anniversary! The pictures were nice, but as you know, I haven't liked a picture of myself in years. Thanks to all who sent congratulations to us. We do so appreciate your kindness.
