The great love of my life marries today and I am not the groom. I had my chance, a few years ago, but did not realize until too late how fleeting my moment with her was meant to be. Whether it was my fault or hers, and, let's face it, it was probably mine, I will wonder always about the life I might have had with the most loving and loveable woman I have ever known. Sometimes, I finally now understand, love, even crazy love, is not enough. Sometimes, as the romance novelists know, timing is everything.
But today is not a day for remorse. It is not a day for lost causes. Today is a day for celebration. The woman I once promised to keep happy is happy. She tells me she is marrying a wonderful man, with a good heart, whom she believes I would have liked had we met in different circumstances. She lives where she wants to live. She has selected her life's path. All that is left for me to do is to wish her well and to hope that she has made the right choice; that she continues to find in him what she did not find in me. And I am sure he considers himself today the luckiest man on the face of the Earth.
The present I humbly send her today is this column; this public note, this irrevocable display of affection and support and gratitude; this worldly absolution from any guilt or sadness she felt between the time she said no to me and the time she said yes to him.

Seems no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t turn him into a real man.
First line of ancient but moving toast:
“To health, wealth, and love!”
Second line of that toast:
“And, may you have the time to enjoy them.”
The above toast has been around for a very long time. The article is very much in the spirit of that toast.
Give him credit for an interesting article, albeit arguably a bit on the personal side for general publication.
PS I don’t drink. Seems half a beer and I can feel the effects and I don’t like them. But I did like the article.
That was my favorite. My sentiment, too.

Having gone through a painful divorce, two years alone now, I have stated, “Never again!”. I have neither dated nor desired to date. I am free to be dad to my kids (son to her, and a daughter to another some years earlier) and grandpap to my grandson. I hunt, fish camp and attend weekend long outdoor rock festivals and I am TOTALLY free!
Now, how to arrange financing for my 2010 HD Road king, hehehe
This isn't releasing her of a burden, as he claims. This is a lame attempt to saddle her with doubt about her decision by showing her that he loves her soooooo much he wishes her well even as he's left pitifully behind.
All good thoughts, if kept to himself. Publishing them like this...LAME.

Hondo:”Yes ma’am” Hondo continued eating. “To bad, isn’t it?”

It's worse than that. His huntin' rifle and fishin' rod were in the back and she was towing the boat.

But you did it anyways.

LOL.
I know! If I were she, I'd consider getting a restraining order.
