I just realized that I don't take enough pictures of Gene. I have lots of pictures of the kids and grand kids but not many of Gene and I. That's going to have to change.
Right now I am feeling very grateful for the blessing of having a happy marriage. Oh, don't get me wrong, as everyone who has known us for the duration of our fiery can attest, we haven't been without our big issues and trials, but hanging in there and sticking it out has been so worth it. To be able to say that I am still married to my children's father is very rare these days. I am so glad that I can say that. We have clung to each other and weathered the storm as the firey darts from the advissary have been flung at us to drive us apart, but we have prevailed. I know it comes from the healing power of the third partner in our marriage, Jesus Christ.
Gene is truly my best friend. From the first few days after we became acquainted we have been almost inseparable, only being separated by the hospital stays when I was having our babies. Time flies so fast, we were married and had our four children during our first five years. Back then when we were so busy with just getting from day to day, imagining being married 10, 15 or 20 years seemed so far away. It was something that was almost beyond imagining. How has it all gone by so quickly?
We are so blessed with our life and with each other.
Happy Anniversary Gene, I love you so much. So much more today than on that day 35 years ago. Thank you for our life, our children and your love!
Congratulations! I think every year is a grand accomplishment!
