Happy Anniversary Jayleigh!
I feel like we have been so busy with work, commitments, responsibilities and holidays that we should do something really big to celebrate our anniversary. What seems right though? We have been out shopping quite a bit lately, so that is not it. We have been eating out a lot lately, so that would not really be a treat, would it.
When we are home together we have been staked out on our assigned pieces of furniture, you crocheting on your glider and me typing away on my laptop on the couch. What if we actually take time to be together? What if we spend time with each other without any separate jobs or distractions? That sounds good to me what do you think?
You are such an amazing woman. You stand on a firm foundation supported by your faith, family, friends, and our growing church family. As strong as you are, facing new challenges everyday, you are still tender and vulnerable. You took great care with both your last hospice patient and her family. Now you have agreed to take on two more patients. I will be beside you with these new cases, but it was still a very courageous thing to do. I know that you are still missing your time with Meg. Your answer to the call to serve is truly inspiring.
We have grown and changed so much in our time together. We have been through so much, it is hard to fathom it all, and yet it hardly seems possible that 19 years have passed since that first Winter Formal that we went to after eating dinner at the village restaurant. Those kids dancing the night away did not have any idea what they would face and do in the years to come. From that night on, I knew that I could love you for the rest of my life, but I did not know how deep that love could grow and what great friends and partners we would become.
If we thought that poem, Anniversary, which was read at our wedding was true thirteen years ago, how much more does it ring true today? Your hand feels so familiar in mine that it as close to me as my own heartbeat, and yet a look from you can still take my breath away. We can sometimes complete each others thoughts, and yet you can still surprise me with just a look. I am so glad that we are sharing this walk down the road of life. I do not know exactly where it is going, but I do know that with God's help we can get through anything and along the way find blessings beyond our wildest imaginations.
Jayleigh, I love you more than words can say, but here I am still dreaming about you!
