On this day, June 25, 1977 we took the vow of holy matrimony. This was our attempt to have God recognize our civil ceremony just the week before. We were so young - so excited - so blessed.
We have since learned that marriage is not for the faint of heart. It is in fact an institution. Our gold bands bears witness to our commitment to establish our family as "Herb & Company!" Lol! Our establishment is comprised of the two daughters, two sons in law and five precious grandchildren.
Our daughters are a reflection of me... Strongwilled and determined... smh... And the essence of their father... Kind and peaceful, steadfast... I am proud of them.
Together we have endured sorrow and suffered great loss but we have also shared a love that God has smiled upon. We have experienced blessings upon blessings.
As we continue our walk through life together my husband I fondly reminisce on dancing in your arms to Baby Face - Whip Appeal, and later as you held me through my tears to Micheal Jackson - Whatever Happens... Don't Let Go Of My Hand.
I know of no stronger man than you. Thank you for 39 years of Joy and Pain... Sunshine and Rain... Thank you for "Always." I love you.
