I wonder if my dad ever read this chater from Ben Sira. I think he would have liked it. Much like Proverbs 31:10f, Ben Sira talks about the value of a good wife.
I've shared this story before. My parents met when they were 14 and freshmen in high school, mom in an all girls school and dan in an all boys school. They dated for 4 years and then got married. They both often remarked how lucky and blessed they were that they grew up together.
Mom was a good wife. Dad was a good husband. They both would sya they wer blessed.
They lived as husband and wife for 54 years before mom died in 2005. Dad followed her 2 months later. Now they are blessed to be in heaven together. And I was an am blessed to be their son.
