My wife, Julie, and I are celebrating 50 years of marriage by vacationing in Pat Conroy country. Just today (8/17/19) we visited Pat’s gravesite in St Helena Memorial Garden. Julie placed a pen on his grave. We felt the loss of a friend as well as a gifted American author. “Thank you, Pat, writing the hard truth in great love.”

Congratulations on fifty years of marriage. I imagine you are among the fortunate ones - as am I - to have found a life partner to share in our journey.
Pat always honored the writers he revered by visiting their grave sites, I know he would be very moved to know that you chose to visit his. In fact we are all grateful to you for taking the time to share your experience today with us.
We all need reminders that life is never long enough to say all that needs to be said, especially to those we love.
