Happy 34th Anniversary My Bride! Thanks Ei-Ball!

Happy 34th Anniversary My Sweet Bride!

Tonight, I did battle pains in my neck and back, and my left deaf ear was sending out emergency signals to somewhere unknown, but I was celebrating my anniversary to my babe! Oh, I had me hurting and pained and necessary to wish for my medications because I had forgotten my pill box at home, but I made sure though to keep a smile on my face while my bride, my youngest daughter and I went to celebrate, our 34th anniversary of marriage. We went to the place where olives grow in their garden and oh my, what an awesome meal. Synchronicity tagged along to have me reunite with a friend in person, who I just days ago was reunited with on the Face Book. It was awesome seeing you young Q. and your beautiful family. What blessings to have crossed paths.

While getting dressed to step out, I found myself going over some wonderfully fond memories of that day back in Davie, Florida, thirty four years ago 16 Feb. 1980. She wore a beautiful white wedding gown, with lace veil and a train that looked like it was so long and she looked like the very beautiful princess I had chased since adolescence. So beautiful I cried, so beautiful my Best Man cried too. He, who is still one of my very best Life Long Friends and I wore awesome White Tuxes with white lace that had a splash of pink at the edge of the lace. We were married next to fountains and pea cocks and huge old oaks and it was such a gorgeous day.

A dear friend named Ei-Ball, had gotten us reunited after a brief separation while I was stationed in West Germany, back during the Cold War. It was very shortly after my return, my Earth Angel and I crossed paths in the neighborhood I was raised in as a teen. Her and Botswana had been friends since childhood and we three attended the same High school for a while. Well, as one might imagine, I asked my dear friend Ei-Ball, to please get in touch with Brenda, to let her know I was home and that I wanted to see her. Her parents were fantastic blockers and I was having no success getting through to her with them. As it was, way before I even familiarized myself with it, synchronicity took care of the rest. Reunited in July 1979 - married 1980.

So, my Earth Angel, became our Earth Angel and she was Botswana's Best Woman. She wore a beautiful lace and flowing red dress and sported an extraordinary wide brim bonnet. I still to this very day thank my dearest friend and most beloved Earth Angel. Wow. Here we are thirty four years along, and I love her more today than ever in my life. She still here with this goof ball who is now a wee bit gimpy, but  My Great Spirit, knows and I know that I am married to  a Warrior princess and I love having her as my bride. My Sweet Heart. My Lover. My best friend. All of these years she has stood by me through thick and thin, and she has fought along side me for our rights and the rights of others. We have two beautiful grown daughters, so wise and gorgeous people. Also happen to be two grown ass women who I love more than life. They too have walked with their ma and pa for our rights and the rights of others. I have been blessed and know it. I thank you God, for my wife, my family and these past thirty four years of life.

Babe, Happy 34th Anniversary!!

Love, Mario
