50 Years Of Blessings
Posted: Thu Aug 04, 2022 1:12 pm
Today my bride Cheryl and I are celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary.
I still remember the day we met, our first date and when I asked her to marry me. I remember the day I left for boot camp and in my young mind thinking I might never see her again. I remember how nervous I was when I broke every traffic law getting her to the hospital for our first child. I can still see her standing on the pier as my ship pulled away for a seven month deployment, but then the joy of seeing her on that same pier when we returned and how long it took to get the ship tied up. The memories of all the births, birthdays, anniversaries, graduations and so many other events in our life are just as fresh in my mind as they were years ago.
There are some many things to remember and I could write all day about them. There have been some rough patches but as I look back there were a lot more good times to remember. We now have 3 children and 13 grandchildren and we are still making new memories. I'm very proud of Cheryl and I love her still more and more with each passing year. I have been truly blessed. Thank you Lord.
