I love seeing long marriages and happy couples.  I took this picture when I was in Chile earlier this year.  This is Uwe (pronounced oo-vay) and Elisabeth.  They have been married for about 40+ years.  It's a sweet story too.  Uwe (at around 19 years old) came to Elisabeth's father's farm in Germany to study the business and art of dairy farming.  He left Germany with more than dairy farming expertise!  They now live in Chile and run a huge dairy operation there.  I mean HUGE.  I think Uwe has something like 8,000 acres in southern Chile.  It's a beautiful farm too.  They have wonderful children and grandchildren and they are all close.

Recently Uwe had a major heart surgery.  Everyone was very worried and things were touch and go but he is doing well and back at home.  Whew...

I love to think of Steven and I years from now...I hope that we will look like Uwe and Elisabeth.  I hope that we will be arm in arm, smiling, amazed at our journey and so grateful to still be together.  This is my prayer out to the universe on this Love Thursday.

I love you Steven.
