Don’t hold back (Anniversary thoughts)

“Tell them you love them over and over again. Tell them too much, and never too little, for the time we have is short, but the love we have is endless.” - Dane Thomas This week would have (should have) been my 35th wedding anniversary.

I guess it is my 35th wedding anniversary. I’m still married, albeit without a husband. A widow (deep heavy sigh). He died shortly after our 33rd anniversary.

But still, I remember, and I celebrate. No, I just remember.

We’d planned to do something “big” on this anniversary. We never felt like we had the chance before. Fifteen, 20, even 25 we let them all pass us by.

We were always too young, or too poor, or too busy raising kids to spend the time or money for anything for just the two of us. It seemed too extravagant.

We took lots of family vacations, but they were planned around our four kids.

We always spent time together, but it typically involved practices, games or performances (of the childhood variety). We spent many weekends away from home in hotels - for tournaments and supervising kids in the pool.

They were good years building a family, raising

By

JILL PERTLER Columnist

children. We were happy to put special times for just the two of us on hold because we had all of our future for us as a couple. We married young.

We were young. There’d be plenty of time.

Or so we thought.

We thought we’d do something big this year. He’d always promised to take me to Europe. But it could have been so many things: a long weekend in Las Vegas, a trip to a secluded cabin in the mountains, the beach.

Anything - something. It didn’t matter what. It would be a rare splurge on just the two of us.

Instead, now, it’s just me.

And I have some advice.

Don’t wait. Don’t wait.

Don’t wait.

Please.

Don’t. Wait.

There are always logical reasons to wait. To put off the things you really want to do with your spouse because don’t have enough money or time or whatever you think you need to do all the things you want to do. Please take note of my circumstance.

You never know when your own later may no longer exist. Take the trip.

Go on the vacation. Fish for salmon in Alaska. Cruise the Mediterranean. Hula in Hawaii. Surf in South Africa. Volunteer in to build a school or a church. Go on safari. Visit a nude beach.

Buy that hobby farm. Plan an extravagant night out on the town. Buy her the diamond.

Get him those golf clubs. Do it now.

My husband and I passed by anniversary number 30 and thought we had to wait until number 35 to celebrate something grand because 35 was the next big number.

Take it from me: numbers don’t matter. Life matters.

Now matters.

Celebrate now. Celebrate this year, next year and the year after. Heck, celebrate more often than that.

Celebrate always. Every day.

Unabashedly.

Because, at then end of it all, not too many of us regret all the good and joyous things we did in life.

We don’t regret the happy memories or songs we sang together.

What we might regret, and often regret, are the spectacular things we didn’t do. Even the mundane things we didn’t get a chance to do. Those that we thought we’d get to – some day – but

didn’t because time ran out My best advice? You never know when time will run out. So do it now. Experience to the fullest. Enjoy. Love.

Create a memory worth

keeping. Let your husband (or wife) take you to Europe.

Make it spectacular.

Let me know how it goes.

I’m rooting for you.

Benefit planned for Bonnie Stuckey Bonnie Stuckey has devoted her life to serving others and to blessing countless people through her teaching career and her musical giftedness.

In December this past year, following oral surgery, she continued to experience ongoing concerns with pain and swelling that eventually led to emergency surgery on Feb. 19 at the University of Wisconsin Hospital in Madison. It appeared that she had a serious infection in the jawbone.

As a breast cancer survivor for over 30 years, it did not occur to her or her physicians that cancer might be the source of this problem, but a biopsy during surgery revealed that there was cancer in her jaw.

Following that diagnosis, she went through a very extensive eight-hour surgery to remove her entire left jaw, all of her teeth and then to place a reconstructed jaw made partially

• Police

from her own thigh muscle.

After a lengthy recovery, she had 30 radiation treatments at UW Hospital and six weeks of intense chemotherapy as part of an experimental trial. Through so much pain, exhaustion, and disruption of taste as well as difficulty swallowing, Bonnie has continued her positive focus, even returning to play the organ at her local St. Paul Church of Epleyanna whenever her doctors and her physical condition allow.

She continues to need rehydration therapy at SSM Health in Monroe until she is able to sustain enough intake to maintain correct electrolyte balance.

To assist Bonnie and her husband, Merle, with the many expenses not covered by insurance, a benefit has been planned for Saturday, Aug. 20 in Dakota, Ill, in her honor called “Bucks for ‘B’”.
