The day the world celebrates my anniversary! ::snort::

I've been sitting here for nearly an hour now, trying to produce something that will begin to share what my Valentine means to me...but it's hopeless. Words are to mundane. I can try.

Hon, 23 years and here it is - the very first anniversary we'll spend apart (55 minutes and counting). We've had good times and bad times. We've weathered...and we've learned that love is about service, commitment, loyalty - it's a choice and a verb. I can't imagine what life would have been like these past decades without you in my life. God truly blessed me when He orchestrated events in such a way that a certain upper classman would notice a slightly spacey freshman MK. (Yes - I'm blaming the whole incident on HIM). You've been such a positive influence in my life. I treasure your insight and wisdom. I treasure your confidence and trust and love. I treasure you.

BTW all are spared of a truly amazing step back into history (big hair and a full beard - what a pair we were) as the computers are all fouled up and I'm not even going to try to use the scanner....nothing that may upset this one lasting computer. LOL

I know you are finding joy even in being apart from dh on your anniversary. The joy of knowing he loves you, the joy of all the past and future anniversaries......

That was sweet, DeEtta. How romantic to get married on Valentine's Day!

Next year you'll be together again, God willing, and you can both laugh and remember his big hair and your beard. (Electrolysis is great, isn't it?)

Sorry. Such...low hanging fruit...
I couldn't...
resist!

DeEtta - you're cheating to not put up a picture. We don't believe the bad computer story for One Minute!
