Marriage

What is marriage, some say that it's an institution and others say it is a partnership, I think it's the latter, it's a partnership of people who think alike and have found that one thing that they have been searching for, love. If you're single then it's hard to explain this emotion but I'll try because you're missing out on something wonderful. Marriage is I would say is the rocky road to fulfillment, to have someone there beside you day and night, someone there through thick and thin, the good and bad times, your wife or husband is your rock, it will always be there. Marriage is when you have someone to help you out if you have a problem or just want to hear what your partner thinks, it's something that reminds you that you are alive and have something to live for. Then you have children which adds another element to your life because then as you grow older you hope that you will become grandparents and enjoy the feeling of when you first held your children in your arms. Marriage comes with problems like your children are having a tough decision to make, helping with your advice, perhaps it is not what they wanted to hear but they know that you tried to help and they appreciate it. When you have to leave your partner for one reason or another you miss the feeling of togetherness and in a way lost because your partner isn't there as he or she always is, maybe you argue about something trivial and don't speak to one another for a time but that soon blows over and you're back to normal life, that's the way marriage goes. Then perhaps one of you is sick and the other one is there to help in whatever way they can and give you sympathy as if they are feeling the same, it's when you're children are talking or arguing and you look at each other without saying a word and you know exactly what they think as if you were mind reading that's what marriage brings, you know each other, no secrets, no jealousy nothing that will spoil what you have built together, a family which perhaps your children see and realise that's what they want and try to achieve that goal, ok perhaps you have some bad habits like smoking or drinking but it's up to them to decide to do the same or not thats their decision,it's that small kiss on the cheek that makes you instantly happy,it's when you're partner has friends from work or from where you live and you don't, do you mind, no because you belong together and are happy for them to have friends my only true friend is my partner and that’s enough for me,perhaps it's making that first cup of coffee in the morning before he or she goes to work and it brings a smile to their faces. Whoever is married I'm sure you feel the same way and have the same feelings so as you can see maybe it's an institution as well, an institution of married people who are living happily together all over the world, experienceing the same things that you are, that's a great institution and I'm glad to be a member and never want to change it. Maybe I'm a sentimental old fool but I must write what I think and feel, perhaps marriage is not for everyone but with all honesty they are missing out on something wonderful that could happen in their lives and to those who get divorced then there must of been something missing when they took their vows in church and I'm sorry for them but that's what real life is like, it's a roller coaster and to stay on it you must be willing to sacrifice some things that you like or want because you don't want to lose what you already have, your rock, your other half, your partner and most of all the love between two people.

Ninth installment

The remains of the unit that were in this position left and we followed them, we went around the outskirts of the village and back into the center. The rest of PIV or what was left of it were already there, we found out that Colin just after he had reached the main hq in the center of the village. We had to go back to the end of the street to see what was happening but as soon as we arrived we came under heavy fire as the enemy had pinpointed this house as our new front line, there was no way that we could reach Eric without getting everyone who attempted a rescue killed and because of the amount of enemy fire we had to fall back, on the way Alan started going berserk saying that he had to go back to fight, he was shooting everywhere so George calmed him down and asked him to take care of the elderly and that seemed to work. By now the village command had decided it was time to leave but first we had to wait for the mortar unit to reach safety. We could not get anywhere near under cons...

Third installment

Day in, day out, it was the same routine, sleep, guard, fire off a few rounds in the general direction of the enemy, there was not much else to do, the main thing was to stay alive by keeping inside every time mortars or artillery came flying in to the village. The only time that there was a lot of activitie was when we were buzzed by planes, everybody would rush outside, Ernie would jump on the transporter and fire the machine gun, I used to run to the machine gun that was mounted on a tripod at the end of the street and also fire at the plane, everybody else would be outside firing their ak47s, there was not much chance of hitting it or bringing it down but it took only one lucky shot and that would give everyone hope. After the plane had gone out of sight that the transporter was Ernies because he had shot at the enemy leaving the damaged transporter with a sniper rifle, so Geordi the commander in charge of the defense of Osijek had given it to Ernie, I also found out that he worked...

Second installment

The word money has a way of working it's way into every aspect of life and my little crusade was not exempt, how much did I need to get to Croatia, how much did I need to survive on the way, it all had to be taken into account and most where and how I was going to get the money from that I needed. By inquiring at travel agents I found out that I could fly but only as far as Austria, Italy or Hungary but the price was much too expensive for me. Taking the train to any of these countries was also far too expensive, the cheapest way was by bus but the only problem was that it took so long to reach your destination. The bus that I wanted to take went from London and it's destination was Athens in Greece, it normally went through Yugoslavia but because of the war it was not going through Budapest then down into Belgrade before going onto Greece. This was the cheapest way to go and after further inquiries I found out the times and price of the bus, now all I had to do was get the mon...
