"Wrinkles" By Bob Perks ? ? Of all the challenges I faced these last few months.? Of all the fears.? Of all the sleepless nights I tossed endlessly.? Of all the weeping. ? ? Of all the things to think about during the six and one half hours I waited alone in the hospital today, I found joy in a single word. ? Wrinkles. ? There is a multi-billion dollar industry that exists because we don't want to look old.? There
are millions of people who make a living selling and manufacturing such items.? There are hundreds of products on the shelves and flashed across our television screens each and every day that play to our vanity. ? They are all wrong. ? You see, today I found joy in the thought that because of the Grace of God, because of the miracle of prayer, your prayers, ? because of science? and medicine and the skill of surgeons, my wife, my love, my "Baby" will live to get "wrinkles." ? As her one surgeon said a few weeks ago, "Well, I'll see you every six months.? We
will grow old together." ? Oh, to live to have wrinkles.? My God, my God...I Love Wrinkles!" ? Marianne had her surgery.? She remained in recovery for two hours because of breathing complications, but at about 1:15 p.m. they wheeled her into her room and I saw her for the first time today. ? We are free!? It is the day of days? to claim our new beginning. ? We ran through the rain.? We got wet.? We needed washing. ? Besides, when you get wet, you "Wrinkle!" ? My
dear? friends, come grow old with us and wrinkle! ? Love all ways and always, Marianne and Bob? ? ? "I believe in You!" Bob Perks ? I encourage you to share my stories with your friends but, when copying I ask that you keep my name and contact
