I didn’t realize they were still living. They must have had a very long marriage together. This song has been on my mind for some reason for the last few days. Maybe l’m being prepared for something to change.
Yes, they did. I was amazed at Mr. Goldsboro. Well up into his nineties, he was always doing something in his yard which he kept immaculate. I stopped one day to comment on his yard. In the conversation, he told me he had cancer yet it obviously didn’t slow him down that I could tell. He went to Mass every morning. I only saw Mrs. Goldsboro one time and that was as they were turning into their driveway. He went first and she not long afterward.
I saw Bobby twice when he came home for visits although I knew of many other times when he came to visit his folks. I wanted to speak with him but left him to his privacy.
The real estate agent who has the listing is now keeping the yard well manicured.
I always have a good feeling when I drive by that house mostly because I know there was a lot of love in it (told to me by others who knew the Goldsboros for many years).
I hope you are not being prepared for the kind of change the lyrics would suggest, but, if so, may God bless and sustain you and yours.
