IIHer words, in his song

What she wrote about Abel, word for word, and the lines it became.

Who he wasWe started writing an each other when I was a sophomore in high school. He was six years older than my self. He was soft spoken

In the song 0:14
I was just a sophomore when our letters began,
You were six years older, a soft-spoken man.
A memoryWhen we were courting talking hours on the phone, he would play a record by the Everly Brothers… “Let it be me”

In the song 0:28
Hours on the telephone, records would play,
"Let it be me" took my young heart away.
Who he wasBeing together 56 years some say, was a long time, I say Not long enough!

In the song 1:10
Some say it's a long time, but I know it's true,
It was never enough time for loving you.
What she missesI truly miss his voice, holding hands, his eyes, his kisses.

In the song 1:29
I miss holding hands and the warmth of your gaze,
I miss your sweet kisses, your voice, and your gaze,
A memoryat the end of each day we could sit and just enjoy the quiet moments together

In the song 1:36
And the quiet we shared at the end of our days.
His legacyLove animals and creatures around you… He loved being a social worker with children protective services over 37 years.

In the song 2:01
For thirty-seven years, you answered the call,
Protecting the children, and caring for all.
You taught us to love every creature we see,
Her message to himAll I ever wanted to do was to grow old together!… and that we did!

In the song 4:07
All that I wanted was growing old here,
And that’s what we did through each passing year.

IIIAbel’s story

Abel was quiet and soft-spoken, a very good man who listened and usually watched from the outside. He could be very funny, too, with a dry sense of humor. You “had to know him to appreciate it.”

She was a sophomore in high school when they started writing to each other. He was six years older, and he was her first and only love.

“He loved and cared for me like no other person ever did!”
What she wrote about him

When they were courting, they talked for hours on the phone while he played an Everly Brothers record, “Let it be me” on one side and “All I have to do is Dream” on the other. It became their song.

For over 37 years he was a social worker with child protective services, and he loved it. What he left them, in her words: “Be good to one another.”

He loved all five of his grandchildren and was so proud of each one of them. He told the same stories so many times that “even I could recall them as my own!”

“You were and always will be my reason for living!”
What she wrote to him

At the end of each day, they could sit and just enjoy the quiet moments together. She misses that time, and his voice, holding hands, his eyes, his kisses. “He always took care of me!”

They were together 56 years. Some say that was a long time. She says, “Not long enough!”
