| "Date Night" by Tom Wills, June 2017 |
He was just out of the Navy and she was just out of school.
She worked in a wire factory. He made steel. And they did it for decades.
 |
| Sharp dressed. |
Their work shifts didn’t always match, and that included weekends.
He was always kind of a clotheshorse, nice shoes and shirts. Still is.
She was a tomboy.
Somehow they raised two daughters, just a year apart in age.
Every once in a while they would escape, have a date night.
This one was in a big ol’ Dodge.

My in-laws would have been married 53 years. Dee’n’Dave.
Sadly, she played her last inning in 2011.
He’s got new digs now, with the youngest of those daughters.
This picture hangs in his new room, over his old furniture.
He didn’t move much of his old stuff, and I thought he needed a new thing.
This one is a good memory, a keeper.
