Plenty of 'yes, dears,' indeed. Sometimes it's difficult to maintain perspective, but if you can keep that mind-body-soul connection in tact...well, hopefully we can all live up to the examples you presented. You're setting a fine, healthy, loving example for your teens. Congrats! L&T LOL, Tracy! Plenty of ‘yes, dears,’ indeed.

How are you and those big, gorgeous dimples and that alligator bag, sweets? Been much, much too long since we've been able to enjoy all three. Wow, 23 years, huh? Warm congrats! We're on 26 years living together, more than 22 of those years married, 25 years writing together. Yes, we've definitely found our own happily-ever-after. Nice place to live, isn't it? XXXXOOOO L :-D Jacquie D!!!!

What a wonderfully bittersweet, beautiful story about love. Thanks so much for sharing, sweetie. Love comes in many forms, doesn't it? It's learning how to accept it and return it and define it as applies to you. Tight hugs, L&T Oh, Patricia! What a wonderfully bittersweet, beautiful story about love.

With everything that the characters go through, finding a way to move on after a tragedy or the loss of a loved one or countless other obstacles that moment when they know no matter what comes their way they have each other to weather the storm. They no longer have to be alone, they have that "One" to be by their side. That's what I love about HEA. I can’t say about real life since I haven’t had a HEA yet, but in the books I love HEA.

My boss and his bride just celebrated their 50th anniversary; my aunt and uncle celebrated 67 years together before he passed away just after their anniversary this last August; same with a couple at church who had been married for 69 years until he passed away last month. All of them said that it takes work, communication, team work and compromise (and the cheeky man from the last couple said, "And plenty of 'Yes, dears.'" I'm in my second marriage, and what's wonderful about this one is that we love each other as we are. We know that neither one is perfect, and we take the time to tell each other "I love you." Our teenagers just roll their eyes when we kiss or goose each other, but even they are enjoying life with two people who love and adore each other.

I'm delighted to report that I'm living my happily ever after with my DH of 23 years who embodies every hero I've ever written. I think for an HEA you need to be at peace with yourself, and then it really helps to have people to share your life with, be that a partner, or family, or dear friends, or--ideally--all three. So glad you guys found each other! Love to you both! xox Jacquie Hey Toni and Lori!
