I’ve learned the story of why this bike is parked here at Mazie’s house every day for ten hours. Sad, really. Jake is the rider. Jake and Mazie were married for 24 years. They divorced 37 years ago and neither remarried. Mazie has been diagnosed with a fatal disease. Jake rues the lost years but when he heard that Mazie could no longer leave her house, he visited her. They have decided to make part of their wedding vows come true – the part about “until death do us part.” Too bad they missed all the years of being together in health.

ABOUT ME
Hello. To various folks I am Neat’nee, Mom, Grandma Neta, Gramma, Aunt Neta, Aunt Noni, Aunt Neno, and Aunt Neto (lots of varieties from little nieces and nephews). To some I’m more like “Didn’t you used to be my teacher?” or “Don’t I know you from someplace?” To you, perhaps, I am a Fellow Blogger. Not “fellow” like a male or a guy, but “fellow” like a companion or an adventurer. I would choose to be Grandma Blogger, and have you pull up a chair, my website before you, while I tell you of some days of yore. I have experienced life much differently than most of you. It was and is a good life. I hope to share nuggets of appreciation for those who have gone before me and those who come after me. By necessity you are among those who come after me and I will tell you of those who came before. Once upon a time in a little house on a prairie - oops, change that lest I commit plagiarism - and change that “house on the prairie” to “dugout on the prairie.” So my story begins...
Sweet aroma 
Too bad indeed! Thank you for joining us this week!
Thank you. I enjoy your prompts. Hope to read more of these tomorrow.
Yay! Until then…
Nicely done Oneta, sad lives some people live.
Thank you, Michael. I appreciate your comment. I’ve just left from your place. 😀
Too bad indeed. It was too late by the time they realized their love. Great story, Oneta.
Wasted years, wasted years. Probably because of a quick decision they made, then pride and stubbornness took over. I enjoyed your story also. Left a follow.
Ah yes, pride and stubbornness can ruin many lives. Glad that you enjoyed my story. Thanks a lot for the follow. 😄
I must be a glass half full person, but I think this story is sweet. Something broke and now it is fixed. While there’s breath, there’s hope. 🙂
