You can never say "I Love You" too often or hear it told too many times. None of us knows the day or the hour that will be our last or whether we will return home to our family after a day at work or school or even if we will see our friends again after enjoying an evening's entertainment. Take every opportunity to show and tell the people in your life just how much you cherish them. When either of you is gone, there will be grief and loneliness, but there should not be regret.

My Blog posts entitled Lessons of Life and Love are true stories of lives cut short through accident, illness or violence and the long and lasting love of couples who have celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary.
The golden threads woven into all of the stories are faith, perseverance and loving memories.


About The Author

Growing up among a large extended family in the close-knit Polish community of Bayonne, NJ, Estelle experienced an idyllic childhood until the tragic death of her locally popular and highly regarded father. She married an Irish boy who lived across the street and with values instilled by previous generations they built their dream life in the suburbs of Princeton. A career in corporate relocation took her to Rochester, NY, where she now resides. In retirement, she is dedicated to remembering meaningful moments and recording them in her writings. Her mission is to spread the love with which she was blessed.
