GROWING OLD WITH YOU


No poems, no fancy cards, no flowers, no jewelry, no expensive dinners. Just a very simple thank you. I know you don't hear that enough from anyone, but hear it from me now. Thank you.

Thank you for saving my life all those years ago. Thank you for loving me no matter how crazy I become. Thank you for supporting me when you had really rather not. Thank you for agreeing to disagree with me most of the time. Thank you for allowing me to be me....sometimes. Thank you for never going to bed angry. Thank you for dealing with my loved ones and teaching me how to deal with yours. Thank you for getting mad at me but always letting me make you smile so that I know that it will be okay. Thank you for being broke with me and worrying with me even though we both know we will be just fine. Thank you for being too busy with everything in the world but still taking time to sit on the porch with me and talk. Thank you for always telling me that you love me just before you fall asleep. Thank you for being concerned for my health because you actually want me to live longer. Thank you for not having my sense of humor. Thank you for our wonderful children. Thank you for being the heart of this family and letting me be the soul. Thank you for all you do for all the people we know who don't care about all you do but count on it year after year after year. Thank you for believing me when I tell you that you are beautiful and incredible. Thank you for being unwavering in your convictions and understanding me as I float in the breeze.

Thank you for being you and allowing me the pleasure of getting to know you, falling in love with you, marrying you, spending all these years with you and growing old with you. I will never know what my life would be like if I had never found you, and thanks to you........I don't want to know.

Happy Anniversary and thank you so much for being my wife. I love you.
