FOREWORD

If there is one thing I feel I need to emphasize it is this. I never expected Joey Le Maire to surface when he did in early 2015, LET ALONE to say what he did that would lead us to living together, loving in such a topsy-turvy way. Nope. None of this would I EVER have predicted. Especially the getting married part. Of course my life has always had a bit of a roller-coaster up and down and sideways feel to it. BUT this was extraordinary even for me. For which I am grateful. MOST of the time. LOL.

I've done a hell of a lot in my paltry existence, far more than most...starting at a very tender age. Lived many different places, done all kinds of things not the least of which was and is to become a successful published author. But all in all I have done little or nothing that would have prepared me for Joey.

Ethnically Israeli (both Ashkenazi {European} and Sephardic {North African/Spanish}) Jew, and American by birth, he was born and raised a few short miles north of me in SW Michigan. Blissfully unaware, both of us, of each others existence until fate and circumstances intervened and shook me to my foundations.

When I stop to think of all of the various possibilities available to us, it is a miracle we ever met at all, but meet we did. To consider life without him now is unthinkable.

Make no mistake. I love Joey Le Maire with every fibre of my being. Every breath I take and every ounce of strength I possess and my whole life seems dedicated to the simple premise that Joey is the center of my universe and always will be. In so many ways he has been for a very long time. Seventeen years this month (May 2015) to be exact.
