Love of My Life

Remember young love?

The kind of love that you “could not live without” and the guy that was going to love you…FOREVER. I've been there. From that experience, I learned about myself, others and what real love encompasses.

I have a wonderful husband to share my life with. We met later in life as a result of wrong “love” choices; however, the roads we traveled to get to where we are now, were worth the pain, years and emotional growth. When we met, we knew who we were as individuals and we knew what we wanted out of a relationship. We became best friends. Our love developed and grew over time. We admitted our love for each other. We showed each other the love we had for one another and we lived it. Real love. Mature love. We did not want to change each other and we understood each others’ needs. I felt connected to my Big Guy because we had the same outlook about life, what we wanted out of life and where, down life’s road, we wanted to be – together. We love our family. Our homestead. Our lifestyle. We have old-fashioned beliefs. We work hard. We love God. We cherish life and the time we have today. We love each other.

My Big Guy loves me. I love him. It’s that simple. Yes, I know how lucky I am! He is thoughtful, strong and loving, and he is always there. My rock. But we work at what we have. I am happy. We’re happy! I cannot imagine life without him.

Today, Dear Big Guy, we celebrate 10 short/long years together. They have flown by and we have so much to be thankful for. I am thankful that we were brought together and grew to know and love each other, as we continue to do so. It truly gets better each year with you and us. With all my heart, I truly love you and I look forward to the next ten years, 20 years…don’t forget our date to celebrate 50 years!

And only as Sammy can sing it…
I spent a lifetime waiting / Always hesitating until you / I was lost so deep
inside my shell / 'Til you came and saved me from myself / Now all I really
know is I need you

You are the love of my life / You are the reason I'm alive


Forever your love,
Hugs and Kisses
