happy anniversary...

Happy Anniversary to the person I love because you....

• are truly a kind person.
• pick me up when I am falling apart.
• went to pay and pick up Matt's car in the summer when it was towed and all you did was merely shake your head in disbelief.
• care about all of us.
• clean out Nick's car, which is always filled with trash and dirty clothes and sports equipment and Arkansas mud, each time he comes home.
• don't hide the fact that you do not like to do "around the house" jobs.
• organized a golf outing for Chris to celebrate with him and his friends.
• do things for me and the kids to make us happy.
• gave a beautiful "father of the bride" speech at Sarah's wedding.
• rescued Nick when he had no place to live and found him an apartment and furnished the apartment and moved all of his belongings into his new apartment.
• smile and hug Sarah and Chris and Matt and Nick and me often.
• bought five i-Pads for Christmas gifts this year.
• take me out for wine and appetizers just so we can be together.
• taste all of my new recipes.
• call your kids to touch base because you miss them like I do!
• love golf and when you come home after playing, you are smiling.
• buy me "thinking of you" gifts.
• say you love me often.
• are my best friend.

How lucky I am to have you and your love after all of these years...
