right on!, well written
You have shared it all with these photos, Khati. Looks like a long, happy relationship. Congratulations!
Thanks Betsy!
Congrats on your upcoming 40th anniversary, Khati!
Thanks Laurie!
Wow. What a story!!! Sometimes words just won’t hack it. But pictures sure do! So much love!
Of course there are many words, but I think that kind of sums it up. Hard to know what to celebrate, so we do it all.
Congratulations, Khati, how wonderful to have your relationship well documented. Hope for 40 years more for you.
It was a little challenging digging up some of those photos, and the documents too, but there is a story there.
May I be ecumenical and say MAZEL TOV on all those wonderful anniversaries Sally and Khati!
Wonderful story, Khati! I love that you met, then re-met….like it was meant to be. So cool to have the photos then and now!
Yes, it was a happy day. I had lost touch when I moved away for residency for several years; when I returned to the Bay Area, I spied her across a crowded Golden Gate Park filled with International Women’s Day celebration. Funny thing was, I also spotted my long-lost uncle, who had become a Sufi and was performing on the stage next to the crowd that day. Anyway, the rest is history.
Just lovely, Khati! Truly a perfect marriage of great photos and RetroFlash captions. And, indeed, a happy marriage in the most literal sense, too. Congratulations on all your anniversaries!
Thanks John—this topic seemed to evoke a lot of retro-flashes. As I get older, it seems ever more worthwhile to remember!
I’m late to the comments, but I echo what everyone else has said. Wonderful RetroFlash, enhanced by all these pictures and documents. And congrats on your upcoming 40th anniversary – quite a milestone!
Thanks, and glad you enjoyed it. Time flies!
