1.
Hair that bears the snowy white perfect age
Skin that needs more focussed care at this delicate but cozy-comfy stage
She holds on to his arm firmly
His arms, still safe & sturdy
They have weathered the storms
Over-coming pain in all forms
From kids' nappies to graduations
Teaching how to kick a football
Or use the wonder of their intoxicating imagination.
2.
He has always seen her bold beauty
Woman, once a girl
She has always felt safe trusting him with her whole world
As they walk through life, wind, shade or showers
They always viewed every moment as ‘ours’
Tender yet unbreakable love
Like the vows, they made to each other
And God above.
3.
Rain falling all around them
Death unknowingly calling them
Yet they hold each other closer
She, thanking God for the endless love he’s shown her
Him wishing never to know a moment without her
Over the decades they’ve watched others around them fall horribly & bitterly apart
Knowing nothing could ever break them
Committed in the light & the dark.

Turning Pages of Life
Life’s like a book — some parts are good, others not so much. Still, keep turning the pages; you might find the best chapter next. If someone hurts you, choose to forgive or just let it be, but never change who you are for them.

The Snake-Worshipping, Fur-Wearing Woman Who Made Alexander Great
What do you know about the mother of Alexander the Great? It's not a trick question. The woman who gave birth to one of history's military greats has been much obscured by the long, dark shadow of history. Short of a few awkward caricatures in film, little has been brought into focus about the infamous Olympias of Molossia.
