What are the key messages you would like to send: He is my world. Everything I do is touched by him in some way. I am crying now just thinking about things to say. He is my comfort and keeps me going. He doesn't let me give in when I'm ready to quit or give up.
Do you have any funny, sad, happy, embarrassing or otherwise memorable moments that you would like to share: When i first met him, I couldn't stand him. We worked at the same place, so we became friends quickly. Not too long after that, I lost my home and was sleeping in my car. One day at work he took my keys from me and took me home with him and I never left. He took me to meet his family. He had told them that he was going to propose to me. Of course, they came and told me about it. That night we went to bed and I could see the shadows of his family outside the bedroom door listening. He simple asked me what I wanted to do on Valentine's Day and of course I told him I didn't know, whatever he wanted to do. Then he said "How about getting married?" and I said yes. I left all the wedding plans up to him because I didn't know what he wanted or could afford. It was the 2nd marriage for both of us. It was winter time and off season for us here. I rolled $36.00 worth of pennies just
for the marriage license. The day before we were to be married, we went to one of his friend's house. The next thing I knew, we were going home to pack and we were flying to Vegas to have a double wedding with his friend's and they paid for everything. About a year later, I got pregnant, but I lost the baby. That led the doctors to find some health problems that I had been fighting for years and I had to have a hysterectomy. It broke my heart I couldn't give him a child of his own. That was the beginning of alot of health problems for me. Even though he wasn't right there beside me, I knew he was in his heart. He doesn't know how to show emotions to well, but I always know what he is feeling. I know him that well. I took care of his dad until he died and his mother when she had bypass surgery and almost died. I always step in so he doesn't have to deal with it so he won't hurt so bad. I always try to protect him. He has been on his own since he was 13, so he really doesn't know what it is to have a family and that was my goal to teach him what family is.I think I have suceeded to some extent. Last year I had a bad episode with my health. I had a complicated migraine and couldn't speak well or walk on my own. I knew in my heart I was dying, but he was there to feed me and bathe me because I couldn't do it own my own. It took me 3 months to get back to normal. He took care of all the bills and made sure I had everything I needed and that someone was watching me from a distance when he was at work so I wouldn't feel like I was a bother and was somewhat taking care of myself.
Do you have any other comments or thoughts: We have had some pretty rough times. Especially the first few years. We always told each other if we could make it through that, we could make it through anything. I have always stood by him and he by me. We lost our home and cars because of my sickness and lived in a motel for 2 years. We are now getting back on our feet and have an apartment now that I am determined to make a beautiful home of for him to have something to be proud of. My birthday is 6 days before our anniversary. I have always picked on him and told him he can't lump my birthday, anniversary and valentines day together. The week before our anniversary, I buy him a little something for each day and give it to him. I can't buy him what he deserves, but at least I can let him know I love him every day, not just on our anniversary.
My All
| I just wanted to say "I love you", but in truth, I didn't know where to start, so I thought I'd share a few feelings, and give you some words, they're straight from the heart: Firstly, I'll begin by looking skywards, and thanking those in the heavens above, because I know I've been blessed to have shared you, I know that I've been blessed with your love. Everything I do is touched by you in some way, I'm crying now, salty but they're so happy tears, because you are my comfort, you keep me going, and I know that together, we'll journey through our years. You never let me give in when I'm ready to quit, you keep telling me 'just the one more time', and I just wanted to thank you for being you, you are the one that puts the reason in my rhyme. When I first met you, I couldn't stand you, but thankfully we worked at the same place, so it didn't take us long to become friends, and my shortcomings disappeared without a trace. Not too long after that, I lost my home, and I ended up sleeping fitfully, in my car, and then one day, you took the keys from me, and ever since, I've really traveled far. Because you took me home and I never left, I'll never forget when you took me to meet your family, you told them you were going to propose, and they in turn, of course, then told me. That night, eventually we went to bed and I could see the shadows of your family outside, they were waiting by the bedroom door listening, if I said "eavesdropping" would it hurt the family pride? Anyway, you asked what I wanted to do for Valentines, I said that I didn't rightly know, it was up to you, and then you said: "How about getting married?" and of course, I said "yes", quickly followed by "I do". Because in no time at all we were off to Vegas, thanks to the enormous generosity of our friends, $36.00 worth of pennies and a double wedding later, but that's not quite where this story ends. Because about a year later, I got pregnant, but tragically, I lost the baby along the way, and the doctors had some more bad news for me, and I'll never, ever forget what they had to say. They found some problems that I'd been fighting for years, and this meant that I could no longer give birth it broke my heart I couldn't give you a child of your own, it was about then I found out your true and honest worth. Because that was the beginning of a lot of more problems, and there's a lot more of that tale I could tell, but I knew you were there, with me all the way, as I always know what you're feeling, I know you that well. I know you're not fond of showing your emotions, but I know that you've a kind and caring soul, and with you in my life, I feel complete, you are the one that makes me completely whole. I took care of your dad until he had to go and your mother when she was very ill, I guess I step in so you don't have to, I always try to protect you (and I know that I always will). I know you've been on your own since you were 13, so a real family you have never really known, I think my goal is to teach you what family is, and I've succeeded to some extent, as we've grown. Last year I had a bad episode with my health, I had a bad migraine and couldn't speak well or walk, I knew in my heart I was dying, but you were there for me, to feed me, to bathe me, but to importantly, talk. It took me 3 months to get back to normal, but you took care of me made sure the bills were paid, and my decision to say "yes" to your initial question, well, that was the best decision I've ever made And I know that we've have had some pretty rough times, but life, is rarely, if ever, a rose filled dream, but through it all, we've stuck together, we proved to the world that we truly are a team. . We said that if we could make it through those early years, well, we could make it through anything life had to bring, and what doesn't kill us will only make us stronger, so now I find that you are my all, my everything. I am determined to make a home that you'll be proud of, because I've never really said just how wonderful you are, but if my love for you were a distance, then it would be further than the furthest star. I also wanted to say Happy 10th Anniversary, I guess that's really what these words are for, here's to you, Robert, you're truly wonderful, and here's to our everlasting love, for evermore. |
