One Hundred Times More Beautiful

Hello Dr. Laura:

Your recent show where you had husbands call in about their wonderful wives inspired me to tell you this story.  Ten years ago, I was in a big box store and ran into I guy I used to work with.  We chatted a bit, and then he asked if I had ever met his wife.  I hadn't, so he asked me to wait with him a few minutes until she came back.  He said "I really want you to meet her.  Just wait till you see her - she's a looker!  She's going to knock your eyeballs out!"  I smiled and waited with him.  

A few minutes later, she comes out from around the corner, and she's using a walker!  She was a tiny little thing with a smile the size of Manhattan.  Her husband said to me "There she is!  Look at her - isn't she the most beautiful person you've ever seen?  We've been married 61 years, and she's one hundred times more beautiful today than the day we married."

They were both in their eighties, and I had only been married for fifteen years at that time, but wow - what an impression it made on me.  I'm a minister and recently performed four weddings.  I told this story in every one.  The reason she was so beautiful to him was that they chose wisely and every day they still did things to make the other happy.  This was one of the great experiences of my life that helped shape me as a person, and I wanted to share it with you and your listeners.

I'm a big fan. I wish you strong winds and calm seas.  Don't ever retire!

James
