It was the last Sunday of March 1997, an Easter Sunday though that meant little to us beyond that the following week was Spring Break from my classes so we could go on a honeymoon to Key West. March 30, 1997 was the start of a wonderful journey that proved the lyrics “When you love a woman, you see your world inside her eyes” to be true and that we each finally found someone. And it means today marks a Happy 28th Wedding Anniversary To Us!
I wrote about our wedding 10 years ago on our 18th anniversary in this post. I don’t have a lot more to add to that, except to look back on an additional decade of love with the most wonderful woman in the world.
Believe me, I know that not everyone gets as lucky as I did at this, and I am thankful beyond words that I was as fortunate as I have been. Building and living a life together with someone who loves you and understands you is a feeling that stays with you. It steadies you, warms you and makes you grateful that whatever fates there may be have seen fit to smile on you.
And I know, I know, it’s not always smooth sailing. There are and can be differences. No two people are going to be in agreement on everything. What’s the old saying?
“If two people agree all the time, one of them is unnecessary.”
We have each learned from the other. And over the past 28 years what sharp edge sticks out from one of us is found to fit into a soft curve of the other. My faults fit into her acceptance and understanding. As do hers into mine.
When I look back on the past almost three decades, it is like viewing a beautiful mosaic of multi-colored and different shaped pieces that form one beautiful whole. Things that may not have seemed to make sense at the time have been found to be some of the most colorful parts. Rough patches add to the smoothness, creating a picture of two lives joined into one.
Cindy, I love you so deeply. You make our lives the wonderful experience that we get to enjoy every day.
Happy 28th Wedding Anniversary to us, my love!
