CoolWaters Posted June 6, 2003 Share Posted June 6, 2003 Dear Bill (my hubs), Today it is 23 years that we've been married. It hasn't been easy, has it? We started our marriage in twi. We nearly ended our marriage because of twi or twi offshoots. We've been through heart attacks, cancer, car wrecks, loss of children, repeating of cyclic behavior we both learned while growing up, homelessness, extreme poverty, separations, therapy, loss of extended family members, and a whole bunch of crap. Not too long ago I told you that I didn't know if I ever loved you...or if you ever loved me. Bill, on this our anniversary, I am publicly telling you I'm sorry for all of the sorrow I've ever brought into your life...and I forgive you for any sorrow you've brought into mine. I am also publicly telling you Thank You. Thank you for staying around when it would have been much simpler and less sorrowful for you to have sought another life. Thank you for all the work you've done and are doing to make things better for all of us. Thank you for helping me to raise Katy and staying to raise Micah. Thank you for being the only and the best Grandpa Renee has now. Thank you for praying when you knew there was nothing else to do. Thank you for showing me this beautiful country. Thank you for never letting me get set in my fears. Thank you for cheering me on when I'm scared to death of doing something. Thank you for our home. Thank you for going to work every day at a job where you aren't appreciated and that you can't stand. Thank you for keeping our dreams in mind. Thank you for planning on growing old together. We don't have much. I can't take you to dinner tonight. You can't have flowers delivered to me. But, Bill, we do have each other, our children, and now our granddaughter. It's all I've ever wanted. Thank you. I love you...and I know you love me. And... Happy Anniversary, baby...got you on my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
