In 1971, I was a divorcee and a single parent focused on being there for my 6 year old, Tracey. I wasn’t really looking to meet someone at that point. But then Terry came into our lives.<\/span><\/p>\n

I had been in a few relationships that had ended badly and was a bit wary about getting involved with someone again. Even with this handsome guy who was so nice and fun to be with. But my reservations soon disappeared as I got to know him better. He was everything he appeared to be — honest, hard-working, intelligent, loving and caring. We saw each other everyday and quickly fell in love, a love that included Tracey.<\/span><\/p>\n

And \u2018quickly\u2019 was indeed the word for our courtship. We met in April 1971, moved in together in May, he proposed in October that year, and we formally became a family when the two of us married in January 1972. He took his new role as ‘Daddy’ to Tracey seriously. Reading to her became a ritual they both looked forward to during her growing up years. Terry adopted Tracey last year to seal a long-term, loving relationship that continues to thrive today.<\/span><\/p>\n

We honeymooned in Big Sur, California, and love the photos we took there. Now that these photos have been <\/span>professionally restored<\/span><\/a>, I plan to have prints made and framed for Terry as a birthday gift, 47 years after they were taken. Big Sur remains a favorite destination for us, a site of many treasured and romantic memories from the honeymoon. We’ve gone back there several times over the years to relive these.<\/span><\/p>\n

We remain happily married today. Ours may have been a whirlwind courtship but the life we subsequently built for ourselves and for Tracey was based on rock solid love and commitment.<\/span><\/p>\n
