Blessed

Rick, my most excellent husband, and I have been married for 34 years, come this Sunday. In this period of time we have witnessed so many things. We have been blessed with four children, all of whom make us proud to be parents. We, as a family, have lived on two continents and vacationed on three. I was fortunate to homeschool my brood and in doing so spent every waking minute with them so I did not miss a thing in their growing up. It's all in my storehouse of memories. All of our precious grandparents have departed for more congenial accomodations. One sweet baby who we never got to know is with them. Boy or Girl, we don't know but it makes no difference to us. He/She was ours and we missed out on everthing with them. We survived, though, just as many people before us have, and countless others will do.
We've celebrated birthdays, holidays, and special occasions galore. How wonderful to get to spend all these precious moments with the one man I adore. He makes me laugh and yes, he sometimes makes me cry. He tells me I'm beautiful when I know he's lying but he tells me anyway. He is my defender, my knight in shining armour. He is mine alone and his lover's heart belongs to me and none other. I cherish him and thank God for these 34 years. Not to sound too greedy but another 34 years of the same would not hurt my feelings:)
