Life


"Life is just one damned thing after another."

Elbert Hubbard


My husband and I have been through a lot; we've been together for a really long time. In our relationship, many things have happened and we seem to always get through it. Sometimes I wonder just what or how much more we can go through. But as this quote reads, "LIfe is just one damn thing after another."

The author of this quote ended his life with the one he loved. On May 7, 1915 the boat thay were on was hit by torpedoes and sunk by the Germans. Instead of trying to escape into the sea, Elbert and his wife went into a room, shut the door behind them, and went to heaven together in the arms of each other.

I love my husband so much that, whatever life throws at us, I'll be in his arms until death do us part, through "One damned thing after another."

this quote is oh so true, you take one step forward and 10 steps backward. It always makes it easier though when someone is there to go through it with you!
