My Gift To You
I am not only the happiest man in the world, but I also happen to be the luckiest. Today I have the pleasure of celebrating 25 years of wedded bliss to my best friend. We have shared these years of discovery and along the way, have left our insecurities and fears like a rumpled jacket at the back door. We have dared to be ourselves in a world that is sometimes critical and cold, especially with those who strive to be sincere and honest. Yet through it all, we have held steadfast to each other, knowing that our love would endure.
You have been more than a wife, more than a mother, more than a friend. There are no words that properly describe what you have been to me. It is like the child who wonders why we cannot see or capture the wind. We know that it is there and it’s source and destination, will always remain a mystery. You like the wind, carry me forward and the journey is filled with the joy and love that we share.
As we begin this next chapter, I pray for health and continued happiness. I promise to always hold you as you have treated me. I will try to be the backing in your sail as we travel through this next chapter called “The rest of our lives”.
