ALFI, THIS IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT

We met in the Navy/  I thought she was crazy/  Soon she was a good friend/  Had no idea how it would end/  After V-E and V-J days/  We went our separate ways/  Didn't know if we'd meet again/  Soon after I was on a train/  I was heading for the "show me" state/  That trip would seal our fate/  Agreed to get married and soon we did/  TEN months later we had our first kid/  Life from there on moved very fast/ Twenty years later we had our last/ In sixty-five years/  There've been some tears/ But love conquers  all/ And I've had a ball!!!

                                  I LOVE MY HOOGIE
When my love left for a better place, we had been married for 66 years. Before she left, I told her I loved her and she answered, "I know". Then, not certain of her awareness, I asked if she knew who I was. Without hesitating she replied, "I'm sick, not stupid". That was my Hoogie, right to the end. I still love her.
