So, on the day that Ron and Kay had to depart for their 9:00am flight, Marissa and I were standing with our arms around one another's waist waving at their plane as it taxied out to the runway in Maui. We left as soon as we saw their plane lift off and both of us had tears in our eyes knowing that this was an experience that would most likely never be repeated.
After a brief and frustrating verbal exchange on our drive home Marissa reclined her seat and facing the passenger door she was asleep within seconds. On our way, I made a quick stop at the grocery store. Marissa was still dozing but I went in and picked up a few items we needed. We were back at the condo by 10:00am.
Without a word, Marissa headed straight to the master suite to take her much needed nap. I in turn went into the guest suite, closed all the blinds and laid down for a fitful but long overdue sleep.
One hour later, true to her promise, Marissa came out to the living room and curled up in one of the comfy swivel chairs. Looking out toward the ocean, with yellow pad and pen in hand she began to write her story.
I wandered in around noon so she paused from her work for the small lunch that I fixed for the two of us. Our conversation during lunch was brief but pleasant. Then taking her spot in the swivel rocker she was right back at it, writing her story for me.
After fifty years of marriage, I know how Marissa attacks a project like this. She likes to write a rough draft using a lined legal size pad of paper. By the time she was finished, her draft would have lines crossed out and arrows from one place to another. There would be circles around certain words and sentences and big bold exclamation points or question marks in some places. That's just her way. When she had the story the way she wanted it, I knew she would copy it on nice stationary before presenting it to me.
By three o'clock she must have finished her draft because I saw her go into her dresser to get the nice stationary she had brought from home. Her final presentation would be written with beautiful penmanship so it takes her a good deal of time. At 4:30 her project was complete.
With honest love in her eyes she handed the finished manuscript of something close to fifteen pages written on front and back to me. She said that she was going down to the pool so I could read her story in privacy. I poured myself a glass of ice tea and then sat down to read.
Before I got started, Marissa came from the master suite in her two-piece swim suit carrying one of our beach towels. She gave me a quick kiss and said; "I'll be back at 6:00 and then we can decide where we go from here."
Rather than tell you what she wrote, I am including the full text for your enjoyment.

My Dearest Will,
You know that I love you with all my heart and I always will. You have been a wonderful husband, and partner for me ever since we were in high school. You are also a fantastic father to our children and now our grandchildren. You are my man and I love you to pieces.
You also know that sexual things have always been difficult for me. Even as an adolescent girl moving through puberty, never once did I masturbate or even have any sexual fantasies. That just wasn't me.
Oh, for sure I had a petty crush or two on boys but they never amounted to anything. One of them never even knew that I liked him. You are the first boy that I ever kissed with anything more than a quick peck on the cheek after a dance or something.
My mom always told me that sex was dirty and something that should only be done to create children. I guess her taunts must have stuck because I've always had a hard time with sex of any sort. And I certainly never viewed sex as something to have fun with. I'm sure you know that all too well.
For my entire life, even the idea of touching or feeling any body fluids from another person has been an anathema to me. That's why all our years together I literally couldn't stomach the idea of ever giving oral sex to you. Just the thought of your pre- cum touching any part of my body much less my mouth would make me sick. And the concept of your sperm ever touching any part of me has always been gross to the max.
I did allow us to have sex when we wanted to have children. But even then, as you recall, I wouldn't allow your penis to touch anyplace on my body before insertion because I couldn't stand to feel anything wet on me.
Looking back, I now realize how incredibly patient and tolerant you were of me and my silly scruples. Even though we did have some terrible arguments early on in our marriage. As I'm sure you recall, those arguments were over my incredible lack of sensuality and my hatred for sex.
I am amazed that we were able to remain married. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sticking with me despite my frigidity. You are the best husband in the world! And I mean that from the bottom of my heart.
