How wonderful! Now I have a very good reason to start the day out with a smile! I just signed my divorce papers yesterday, ending a twenty-year marriage. I hope I will eventually be as blessed as the two of you, and find my own wonderful partner-for-life. May you have very, very many loving and happy years together. {{{{{{Eutychus & Persephone}}}}}} 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 ---

Gratz, **Euty** and **Persephone**! You’re so cute! On a completely unrelated note, **Persephone** , the first time I encountered your name was in English class, ninth grade (circa 1984). We were taking turns reading aloud from either a Greek tragedy or something from Shakespeare (can’t remember which) and a fellow student pronounced it “Percy-phone.” Later, he pronounced Antigone “Aunty-gone.” Poor kid. Anyway, just thought you might find that amusing. I think of that day whenever I see your name. ---

Congratulations, and may your lives together become what you could have only wished they would be. I left a failing long-term relationship for a wonderful man, and we’ve been together for a decade now; he’s far more than I deserve in this world. ---

**Pers** , you hussy! You stole the gallant **Euty** from right under my nose when I wasn’t looking (or trying-- but that’s besides the point). You with your kind ways and lovely face. Fie on the both of you! ---
