Once in a Lifetime Comes a Man - Larson, Grace

. .

Résumé :
FATE WAS A blessing when a dream brought Lyle into my life once more. He was 46 years old and had never married. It had been 18 years since we'd seen each other. I was almost 42 with 3 adult children and 2 ready to graduate high school. It is only once in a lifetime that a person is lucky enough to have true love. I had that with Lyle, and it is only with writing this book and reading his letters that I fully realize the depth of his being and his love for me. I heard this on a news program on marriage: It is rewarding to know someone has been a witness to your life. I am that witness to Lyle's life. Our song will endure through eternity. I hope that in reading this you will appreciate the soft heart, humor, intelligence, and love that was Lyle. The love he had for his family, animals, and creation. He was a man of integrity and fine character, and a good listener. The mark of a man is how a man lives his life and my husband was that man ; a good man who had a great mother and father. Once In A Lifetime Comes A Man.
