First Kiss


When we were in France one summer, Dale bought a copy of this painting by William Adolph Bouguereau. It's title:  First Kiss.

He told me that it reminded him of us and just how long he had loved me...since we were baby angels!  I loved it.  

I hadn't thought of it again though until I was up in his art studio yesterday going through more "things".  10 months now since he died and I still ache when I discover another keepsake.  Anyway, I came upon these two darlings.  I had to sit down and through my tears that were a mixture of sadness for loss and joy of reliving another precious moment of our life together, I wondered out loud how long he had loved me and how long he will.  I shook off the temptation to break down and carried the picture back to the house. I noticed the letters that needed to be mailed and headed out, glad to have the reason to get away. I still carried the thought of how long...how long has this man been my soul mate and best friend..and how long will he be?

I flipped on the radio and immediately heard the words...."I've loved you for a thousand years, I'll love you for a thousand more".  I laughed and cried happy tears this time.  Another  love note from Dale.  Thank you!!
