Ode to My Love

On this Valentine's Day I must tell my love Thank You for putting up with me for all these years! I know at times I can be a pain. (to think of someone who wouldn't just love roses on Valentines Day or a trip to Hawaii! BTW I get roses on our anniversary and love it) I think back at all the years, 26 to be exact. In some ways I can't believe it's been that long, in other ways it already feels like eternity. I've lived with him longer than I ever lived without him, and the years keep going, faster and faster. How blessed I am to spend them with you! You make me laugh, you take good care of me. You genuinely want me to be happy. You work hard, and you play hard. You help me to play too. I see you now as a grandpa and it warms my heart. You are so much more relaxed with Charlie than you were with our babies. Yet I remember one time in the delivery room, you snuggled close to my face and said "this is the greatest moment. I love this moment, and want to do it again!" Right then I just couldn't quite agree with you, but now I do. . . not . . that we'd ever be there again now, but you know what I mean. There have been many defining moments and will be more.

Grow Old With Me, The Best is Yet to Be!
