Can't Help Lovin' That Man!

My sweet honey and me, senior prom, 1974

                   "Fish got to swim and birds got to fly,
                         I got to love one man till I die,
                    Can't help lovin' that man of mine!" 1

          One warm, spring evening, many years ago, the Methodist youth group was playing whiffleball in the churchyard. A couple of Baptist boys crossed the street to "see what they could see." The strongest, tallest, and most handsome of the two saw me. Because I was barefooted, he picked me up in his arms and carried me across the parking lot so the gravel wouldn't hurt my feet. Ahhhhhhhh.......

September 10, 1977

                  Six years later, I became Mrs. Phillip Glassco.

  It's been almost forty-three years since that whiffleball game, and

   I'm holdin' my man tighter than ever!

                            Happy Valentine's Day, Superman!

                                              I love you!!!!!
