Oh Victoria I feel so happy to know this filled your heart. I just watched the little reel and had some tears. Life is so precious. Making it up the mountain so sweet, exhausting and surreal. We are beyond grateful. Thank you so much for this. I look forward to checking out your work! Happy weekend to you! ox
Such beautiful memories. My first glimpse of John was when he cautiously entered your hospital room with a big bunch of flowers. Dad and I came to love him as a son and big brother for Adam.
They are such good memories mom! He was and is the best. Thank you for loving us unconditionally through all of our ups and downs. You have been the best parents to both of us. We love you. oxox
Aww, it’s lovely and testament to the precious love you keep and refuel.
I like your handwriting too - it skips, skippy handwriting. My attic is full of keepsakes and mementos too. Things to keep my heart singing in my old lady days ❤️
Thank you for sharing an intimate glimpse into your early days of romance and love. I love and connect to this story where you both blissfully ran off to Mexico for an evening dinner. This is the stuff I used to do, very spontaneous and in the moment. Thank you again and blessings to you both! Congratulations! 💝💘🥳
Dear Charlotte, thank you for reading it. We almost ended it a few times and then I think of this. These beautiful moments. It was pure and we were meant for each other. Makes me cry. I used to tell wedding clients, in my office, "be careful down the road what you wish to change about each other. Because you will want to, and those will be the things you fell in love with initially. They are qualities you don't hold and you admire. Teach each other about those things." I knew this because we did this to each other. Now we are each other! lol. Thank you for blessing me here in this community where I feel I can open up and be myself. oxox
Sounds Like a movie, sounds like a song…how beautiful is this love story! From the red plastic booth at the diner to becoming grandparents… it’s a real life romance through all the fortyish years! 🩷🥰💕 I wish you and John happy anniversary joy with a great bottle of wine, flowers and lotsa hanky panky! 😄🎶🥂💐Hugs!
Joan! thank you so much for reading it. I know it brings memories near and dear to your beautiful heart. We all get there soon enough. The grandparent part is the reward, as hard as the last four years were. Nothing can stop the love in your heart. We went through some terrible times, almost ending it. I'm so glad we are still here. John went to Trader Joes (my favorite) and bought me flowers and coffee cake. We had good wine with a dinner I made on Sunday and danced a little.... The simple life is what we crave. Nothing extravagant. We hope to be "together" with John retired in a few years and our big dream is to save for an old trailer to tow behind our old van! Take the doggies on some adventures where we will be the same. He riding his bike and me taking pictures and writing more. What a blessing that would be! Hugging you back. oxox
Joyce! Thank you so much for reading it 💟 It's been a long road and I love to reflect on our story. Reminds me that our foundation was everything, during so many struggles and challenges. We could do it. We could come back from rock bottom in every aspect imaginable. It's that story and Jesus, 8 years in, just about ending it, that has saved us time and time again. We don't take it for granted anymore. oxox
I somehow missed this until this morning when I was trying to wrangle my inbox, and oh, what a lovely gift, what a beautiful love story. Congratulations on a long and loving marriage, for making it, even when times are hard. Thank you for sharing your sweet love story ❤️
Thank you so much Lee. Woke up to see this and headed to a grandson's soccer game. We are blessed. And so blessed to have this community and your friendship. ox
