You know if I believed in omens (which I do not) I would have sworn the “universe” was trying to tell us something but we did not listen. I loved Sam and it did not matter, on August 9, 1981 no matter what I was going to be Mrs. Sam A. Moore and that is all that I wanted… and it is really all that I want today. Life has been full of ups and downs. It is amazing that you can love someone so much an hate someone so much all in one day. I look at Sam and see that person I married thirty years ago. He still looks the same to me. We have a wonderful daughter that is a blend of us both. I am grateful for my life. So what brought tears to my eyes thirty years ago makes us laugh.
