The best decision of my life.

I'm happy that I didn't marry any of the women I was dating in my 20s. It would have been a disaster. A failed marriage. I wasn't ready for those women. And they weren't ready for me. Most of 'em were younger than me. It wasn't until I came across Jeanne. A woman 9 years older than me. Divorced. And with two kids. And three dogs. Finally, I knew I had found the right woman. Totally unexpected. Never dreamed that I'd marry a woman like Jeanne. But I knew instinctively that she was right for me. And I was right for her. Proved to be the best decision of my life. We were married for 38 years. Until Jeanne died of Alzheimer's. --Jim Broede
