This is so beautiful Mariah. Your writing - and expression - conveys a sixty year bond of caring, intelligence and strength.

Hi Peter, Thanks so much. Yes, in addition to just enjoying each other, I think we're validating something in each other - a desire to have those strengths recognized and celebrated. People who see either one of us don't necessarily see "athlete" anymore, but -- we each see that in the other.
