Today ( 36 years ago) at 6pm he ran across the Church lawn to be at the alter to receive me. He was late and I was trying to be....but couldn't...and it has been like that ever since.
He has given me love and fidelity and laughter.
There has been pain and loss and poverty, but our love and our joined commitment to each other before we were legally married saw us through till now.
There had been sickness and health, love and some obeying but in equal measures one to the other. There has been poorness but not richness. It has been hard as all get out and has been full of strain, stress, agony and horror. But what sustained us was our mutual friendship, trust, honesty one to the other and very very very very good sex.
All those old married people who leave that last bit out do not have a true 'marriage'.
Without that last bit it is a good friendship.
Thank you to He Who Must Be Obeyed for he has given me the weft and warp of my life, texture, colour, meaning and purpose...and most of all he has given me three children and he has given me, ME.
Thank you sweetie pie.
Thirty six years plus, cos we did 'try before we bought' and we liked what we tried.
Love you to the sky and back.
Your little wombat. xxxx

You are one fortunate woman. You may not be rich in material things, but you are rich beyond compare in the things that really matter.
Happy Anniversary!!!
