He was a gentleman in every way, everyday! I miss Ed my first husband sometimes too, BUT Chet was my true love, my soulmate, the one I still cry for many more nights than I care to admit.
He is always somewhere in my mind.

Dotsie, he was so young at heart, playful and full of life and had such hopes and dreams for our future. I never felt so loved and cherished ever by anyone.

The age difference when you love a man much older than you is something that has no meaning to you, no place in the relationship, it is about as important as a freeckle on his nose, get it? It is NOT a factor when one loves and marries for the right reasons.

As far as your friends are concerned, each man and woman is different, as is each relationship. I can speak only of the one I enjoyed for fourteen years.
