How'd you look back when you looked your best?

I have too many views of my Photobucket Array 23, 713 so I cannot post stuff from there without giving them $400 or so per year.

Grace, I saw the photos you posted on Facebook. Wow. You've met Barbara. I don't have a photo in my computer to post, but she, too, was once a slender, long-legged Blonde. We dated in High School in Texas before my family moved to Florida.

Attached is a photo of me when I was about 40 and an avid racquetball player. I am the one on the right.

The other photo is my late wife, Janet, who I met and dated in High School in Florida. We married and had a great life together. I lost her to leukemia ten years ago, and still miss her daily.

Once Janet was asked what she would grab and rush out of the house with if the house were on fire. Her answer: Our Photo Albums.

Sweet reminders.

As I gaze at my wife each morning and we hug I think how lucky I am. To each other we look our best now. As we have aged together we can relate to each blemish, wrinkle, or missing hair as an experience of love that has grown stronger as our common memory bank has grown. We celebrated our 50 th wedding anniversary last November. No need to access any old photo files. 70's rock

For me, I would like to be remembered as a good person and loving to others. One is born with beauty but if one were to comment on me, I would like one to say something about my kindness to others but mostly my family. The beauty of the heart is priceless. I thank our Lord for every day.

Love this. Well said. 47 years in 13 days. The best is yet to come.

I do remember back to the days when I was young, hot and thin.

I'm the one in the Daisy Dukes. The bear was named Victor, which turned out to be very appropriate.

This was the cover on an invitation we sent out a few years ago for one of my birthday parties. People laughed and said "That's you!" so I framed one; here it is.
