Happy Anniversary Sexymamabear!

My mind races with a thousand thoughts and my emotions overpower me, filling me with gratitude when I reflect on all you did to fight for me and our marriage.
I deserved nothing and have been blessed with everything.
Thank you for being by my side this past year.
Thank you for touching me and letting me touch you.
Thank you for holding hands with me while we walk.
Thank you for laughing with me and even at me.
Thank you for the hugs when I come home from work and the tender hugs even as we cry.
Thank you for our beautiful children.
Thank you for being my wife.
I Love You and I am so overwhelmed with joy that you choose to call me your husband. loveheart

I want to thank all our MB friends for being here, reaching out and touching our life. Some of you have the master touch of the Physician himself. You have prayed for us and ministered to us in ways we don't even know. I will be eternally grateful to all of you. We're celebrating 21 years of marriage because of your willingness to help my lovely wife and me. Thank you and may God bless you all!

From me to all of you ----> clap

Many a good man has failed because he had a wishbone where his backbone should have been.

We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face... we must do that which we think we cannot.

Thank you my dear, sweet husband. I love you very much and am so thankful to have you back where you have always belonged.

And thank you all for your well wishes and for the support we've received for the last 2 years. Some of you have touched my heart so deeply by walking through the fire with me that I cannot put into words how grateful I am.

My family has been put back together, and God's healing power has worked amazing miracles.





Happily married to HerPapaBear
