 My fairy tale is a bit different but I'm still living it:
Young dude meets girl of 16 and becomes friends - a year later they start dating and she starts navigating for him in rallies. Helps with car maintenance and modifications and repairs. They marry 3 years later.
He takes up dinghy racing and she crews for him. after a few years he wins national championship in his class with her support.
They build a house, he gives up sailing and decides to build a Cobra in evenings after work. She helps him every evening he works on it for 5 years (took a while because of lack of money - she made lots of sacrifices like no restaurant or take out foods or movies or fashion clothes or pocket money) , cleans all the parts for him, does medium weight lifting and fitting, assembles motor and keeps track of parts, to do lists and orders. (A week before her hysterectomy she comes to him and says "I wont be able to help you get the diff in for a while after my opp so lets do it now so you can get the suspension in whilst I'm not able to do heavy lifting)
Car finished and running for 30 years now, she still helps me with jobs that need more than 2 hands in the garage - we will be married for 49 years on Thursday and still the best of buddies.
Oh, and she can't drive.
Can anybody beat that. |
