I Love You, Nancy

Posted by Nancy Lou Henderson in Poetry | 2 comments

I Love You, Nancy Nancy, In my bunk at night, I lay, just counting the hours in a day. For soon it will be all over, then nothing but blue skies and green clover. All the long lonely nights of the past will end when we are together at last. I think of you and how your beautiful eyes shine when I look at you and lay it all on the line. My love is for only you, and it’s nice. I wouldn’t change that love for any price. Our love is so wonderful and fulfilling, and will always be, God willing. He has given us something that is beyond compare. He has given us something that only we...

Writing a True Love Memoir

Posted by Nancy Lou Henderson in Blog | 9 comments

When you are writing a Memoir about a true love shared with your soulmate, it can be the most beautiful experience but it can be heartbreaking at times. Frank and I married at age eighteen. We were married for nearly twenty-nine years when suddenly he was struck ill and died within six days of that illness at the age of forty-seven. While writing our love story and remembering the fun times we had together, I enter into a time machine going back to that period. Actually, I see us together as if a spectator. Actually, the best way I can describe this would be to compare it to the same...

My Soulmate Love for Eternity

After marrying my soulmate Frank on May 8, 1968, he passed from this world on January 30, 1997, due to a sudden illness. We were married for nearly twenty-nine years at the time of his death. Frank and I were both eighteen years old when we married, and only thirty hours separated the difference in our ages, so we grew up together. As our hearts and souls became so entwined together, they became one strong thread. On our first date, Frank walked me to the front door of my parent’s home, told me that he loved me and that he was going to marry me. I looked at Frank knowing what he...

Young Love The next letter you will read really upset me. Frank was so far from home and so sick.

Stuck On You, Chapter 16

The four days leading up to our Wedding Day were full of excitement. Wow! I had Frank in my arms, and it seemed that God had used superglue on our hands, and we could not let go. Things were hectic in Van Vleck, Texas. It seemed like everyone in this town were in some way involved in our wedding. Since the wedding was planned for the evening of May 8, 1968, at the First Methodist Church in Van Vleck, Texas, there was so much to do. It was hard for Frank and me to concentrate on all of the “pomp and circumstance”. All we wanted to do was be alone with each other. It...
