Love

I dedicate the lyrics of this lovely song to Leslie and Lorne   to celebrate their forthcoming marriage.

Love is lovelier the second time around 
Just as wonderful with both feet on the ground
It's that second time you hear your love song sung
Makes you think perhaps love,  like youth is wasted on the young

Love's more  comfortable the second time you fall 
Like a friendly home the second time you call
Who can say what brought us to this miracle we've found?
There are those who'll bet love  comes but once, and yet
I'm so glad we met the second time around.

Leslie and Lorne's  forthcoming marriage  brings to mind when my first marriage collapsed,

 
I found myself  alone with three adorable little girls  to raise, I didn't think I would fall in love again, yet I did,  just a year later....
We didn't marry for a few years as we wanted to go slowly so that the 'girls' would get used to Ian and him to them, We both maintained our own homes but spent weekends together until, one daughter asked Ian when he was going to marry 'our Mum' ? 
Whoosh ! It all happened then, engagement ring on finger and 10 months later we were married....27 years  on and still happy,

So, all best wishes dear  Leslie and Lorne for a long and loving marriage.


  My thanks to the Lovely Mrs Nesbitt for compiling  ABCWednesday and the lexical  Roger for being such a long suffering administrator

  7. Hello Roger Owen G.
    It is sweet when love is found 'the second time around',
    Leslie and Lorne do really deserve our support, particularly as they've had some serious health issues to deal with over the last couple of years, yet through thick and thin they've stuck together, which is admirable.
    I wish them all the joy in the world.
    Best wishes Di..x

  10. Hi Cherie,
    It is very touching that Leslie and Lorne have found LOVE again. LIFE is a strange thing,
    One never knows just what's around the corner.
    I feel quite sentimental when I read the lyrics of that song, Frank Sinatra recorded it, I don't doubt many others did too!

  11. Hi Di! What à lovely post you made for Leslie and Lorne..
    Great that you met before. That's a wonderful thing about blogging. You meet people from many other countries. So did I!
    Thanks for your visit and comment. My eldest daughter could also read before she went to school and she was a fanatic reader all her life of 47 years. My Australian daughter, who is now à librarian, loves reading just as much. My grandchildren are the same.
    Have a great week!
    Wil, ABCW Team

  12. Hi Wil,
    so good to hear from you again, I'm really LOVING this ABCW, I've met so many people (metaphorically speaking), in such a short time.
    Meeting Leslie was a great joy and she was exactly as I imagined she would be, so engaging and interesting, a truly LOVELY LADY.
    I've also met Denise Nesbitt, she's also LOVELY and great fun...It is amazing how many friends one can make via the blogsphere, as you say.
    Have a wonderful week,
    Best wishes,
    Di.x

  14. Beautiful tribute to Leslie and Lorne. Those are my heart felt wishes too.
    I'm glad you found your soul mate the second time around and that your girls were happy with it too.
    Thanks for the wishes on my trip to Mexico.
    It will be exciting to see how Lives are changed and all the wonderful work that will be done there.
    Lots of hard work but oh so worth it.

  23. Hello Liz, good to hear from you, I think with a second marriage comes security and a more mature kind of love, not that it is recommended for all, particularly when children are involved.
    That is why we took our time so that, our 'Girl' accepted the situation and of course, they still loved their father and he them.
    They've always called Ian, 'Ian', yet send him cards with 'Dad' on.
    He makes a great Grandpa too.
    Love Di.xx
