35 years


Today marks 35 years since Jeanette and I were married.

When I was much younger I always used to have this idea that you should have or would find a sweetheart on Valentines Day. Twenty-three of them went by with no Valentine. But, no more.

I am so thankful for Jeanette.

She is the one who brought me out of my shyer self of younger years. (I was too embarrassed to ask a waitress for a glass of water.)

She has been a constant source of encouragement and prayer.

She has been my best friend for all of these years.

She has lifted me up more times than I can remember.

I love her.

  4. What a beautiful tribute! May you have many, many more anniversaries to celebrate!

    I used to look so longingly at the Valentine's Cards when they came out in the stores, and wistfully look forward to the day I could send one to my very own Valentine. It took a couple of decades to link to him, but my hubby was well worth the wait!
