Felix (who took 5 years for me to get close enough to her to realize that she was really Felixia, a female) was my muse who helped me come up with many of the themes for these poems. I have subsequently had a number of cats that are sometime referred to in the poems. But to this day, I am still astounded that I had no idea what I was going to write until Christmas Eve.
These poems were all written on Christmas Eve, but the subject matter of many were targeted for our wedding anniversary in January. The several years that are missing are when we were on a trip or when I was recovering from a serious medical problem, such as extensive back surgery, and was not functioning at Christmas Eve. I am going strong today and hope to continue this tradition for many more years.
Hopefully, the poems will help you follow the evolution of a family and a very happy marriage for over more than forty years.
Special appreciation is extended to Emily Haga for her hours of work and dedication assembling this book; her creative talent integrated the 40 plus years evolution of a family.view less
