True Love

Like I mentioned before I met my husband Bob when I was 18. 11 months after we met we were married, he is the love of my life. We will celebrate our 60th anniversary this June, it has been a wonderful life together. Bob knew about my fast, his love was unconditional. During World War 2, Bob was in the Merchant Marines. After 1 year of marriage he was called into the army but was able to join the Air Force instead. I followed him to his first base in Witchita Falls, TX and worked in the Post Exchange (PX). He had to live on base so I got a sleeping room near by. When a call came saying he would be going to Korea, I moved back home to be with my family who has recently moved to Kansas City, Missouri. After a year in Korea, Bob was able to come home, he was stationed at an Air Force base in California. On August 24, 1954 he had our first child, a son named Steven. After Steve was born, Bob got out of the service to start college in Iowa. Five years later our daughter Kimberly was born (5/2/59). Soon after, Bob was offered a job in california, so we moved our family back to the west coast. It had been a good life but there always seemed to be something missing.
