Over SEVEN THOUSAND days with me darling, you really do deserve a medal.\u00a0
Putting up with my weird and crazy ways, and especially my many (really) bad days.\u00a0
Your strength and perseverance are immense, with you beside me I am blessed.\u00a0
Homely, caring, selfless and loving, and a close second, all your mothering.\u00a0
Our children’s character \/ stability a credit to your input, and of course their good looks!<\/p>\n
I doubt any one else could last the distance, nor give me needed Godly resistance(!).\u00a0
Willing to sacrifice at so many levels, and diligently work on your \u2018devils\u2019.\u00a0
Absence of\u00a0niceties, money or comfort, living on a higher plane is what you\u2019ve taught.\u00a0You huge heart always on display, desiring the best even for those who cause dismay.\u00a0
I know you would say you deserve death, but I hope you have peace and joy in every breath.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Many said there was no way we could make it – but 20 years later ‘we still shaking it!’\u00a0Facing more valleys and trials than most, it is only in Jesus that we can boast.\u00a0
I have no idea what tomorrow will hold, but in Him we can continue to be bold.\u00a0
Thank you for clinging to Him, even when things have seemed so dim.\u00a0
You encourage and challenge me at every bend, reminding me that in Him there is no end.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I love you darling, with nothing or with plenty: here\u2019s to the next twenty!\u00a0<\/p>\n
