For most of her life Ellen Greene had been unlucky in love. She
married young, only to divorce before the age of 30, leaving her to
raise two young children alone. In her late 30s, an ill-fated
relationship took her and her children across the country, but when
the relationship soon dissolved, Ellen knew it was time to put her
life together. And she did - quickly securing a job she loved and
convincing herself never again to be at the mercy of a man who
didn't treat her or her children right.Then came Marsh Greene.
Twenty years her senior, Marsh wasn't like other men - he was kind,
courteous, and treated her like an equal. Ellen had decided to keep
a list of all the terrible things Marsh did so that when it was
time to end the relationship, she could do so without regrets. But
after six months, the list was blank, and Ellen decided instead to
write down all of Marsh's thoughtful gestures. For the twenty years
of their marriage, Ellen would steal moments here and there to jot
down deeds big and small (from cleaning ice off her car unprompted
to helping her son with his homework), and every Valentine's Day
she would give him a copy of the entries she had made that year.
Tragically, Marsh died in 2006, but the list created a lasting
legacy of his caring outlook. An unabashed love story, "Remember
the Sweet Things" is a memoir of a marriage we can all learn from.
