24 year love…

by Robin on January 11, 2010

Day-10~365-Project

The Husband and I have been married for 24 years today…

~I  love  him for a million reasons~

I love the way he finishes my thoughts…

the softness in his eyes when he looks at me…

the way he listens … to everyone…

that he sees the glass half full

and helps me to see it that way…

I love his problem solving skills

because I have none…

I love his presence in the house, even if we aren’t in the same room…I’m sure of him…

I love reaching for his hand in a crowd and finding him already reaching for mine…

I love looking at people through his eyes…he sees something good in everyone…

I love that after all these years sometimes, I still get butterflies when he reaches for me…

I love that he’s not going to be a grumpy old man…he’s getting more tender hearted with every week that passes…

I love the way he sometimes gets emotional when he talks about his faith…

I love the way he loves our kids…

I love that after 24 years if I got a chance for a do-over I’d do it all again… with him

~I love us~

Happy Anniversary!! Wishing you many, many more happy years.

It’s sad, but I don’t see many examples of happily married so thank you for sharing. It’s nice to be reminded that there really can be a happily ever after.

Everything she writes about him is true, she just left out how wonderful she is back to him. They are a perfected match that walk in tandum and spread live and encouragement where ever they go.
