We never really know anyone. I asked a friend, three days ago, why she liked me and she told me that we just connected that's all and shockingly, she doesn't know much about me. We have been friends for six years. I was surprised but when I thought about it, I realized that I don't really know much about her.

I think it's a good idea to ask these sort of questions once in a while.

What is your biggest fear?: I fear my wife dying before me. Being without her is simply unthinkable. I would be completely lost and devoid of direction. I feel I would fall in a heap and never pick myself up. It's not that I rely on her to do things for me, more that I feel I would have no reason to continue on without her. Most people will not understand this but as a childless couple I would have no obligation to stay around. My wife is my biggest inspiration and after so long together I doubt I'd be able to continue on with life very effectively. Sometimes, when one partner dies (elderly), the other does so soon after and I totally get that. It's like they have no will to live and I think I'd be like that.

This is just beautiful. The connection between you two must go beyond physical. Thirty years and you still love someone that much, men that is something to emulate. I pray I can have that kind of relationship with a woman someday; something lasting, something one can depend upon in good and bad times. I am glad for you.

I am presently reading The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins and steemit is not helping me along 😂. My last book was Roar by Cora Carmack and I finished it two weeks ago.
