What Does A Life Mean?

Sixty-five years ago today my beloved Bob was born. He was born in Toronto, the oldest of three children. The sun set on Bob as far as his mom was concerned. He was educated at University of Waterloo and then went on to teachers college. Yes, Bob could have been a teacher but he graduated at one of those moments when jobs were few.

Insurance claims adjusting became his career. He worked at a high level of claim processing where lawyers were involved. Bob would work at resolving a lot of those claims through mediations. We met at a bar in Toronto near the airport.....where our destination proved to be love. We married on November 24th 1973. Jenn was born in 1980 and has been our greatest production. 

When you live with someone for 39 years you witness their life in a way no-one else can. Bob has always been practical, intelligent, caring and somewhat cautious. Over the years I have seen him grow into his spirituality and his knowing of what he is. He has become kinder, softer, more tolerant, learned to listen with his heart and be a good friend. He has been a great father to Jenn and a loyal and loving husband.

His life means everything. He has interacted with thousands of people in his 65 years, touching lives, that's what we do.It's up to you and I how well we do that.

Who's life are you witnessing unfold? Next time you look at them, behold the treasure they are. That is what my day will be focused on today. The magnificence of this man and our journey together.
