And in your short life, you faced many obstacles,
in truth, there's just too many to individually list,
just know that you've taught us all so very much,
and yes, (NAME), you are going to be sadly missed.
I'm like a teenager waiting for her boyfriend to call,
and although I laugh at myself, I run when the phone rings,
because I know you will be on the other end of the line,
and I know just what happiness your voice brings.
And we just wanted to say Happy 25th Anniversary,
I guess that's really what these words are for,
here's to you Mom and Dad, you're truly wonderful,
and here's to at least, another twenty five more.
But I also know that you like to travel,
so now, you're really able to stretch your wings,
and from now on, whenever I hear loud, country music
I'll close my eyes and just imagine how my angel sings.
We just can't understand why you were taken from us,
but I guess in the end, you had to answer God's call,
He obviously had a greater purpose for you up there,
although what you achieved on Earth was by no means small.
We were together for seven years, married for two,
and we were trying to start our own family,
and I know you really wanted to be a Dad,
it's so unfair, I guess it was just not meant to be.
You love those old black and white movies,
and from Cleveland, you've travelled afar,
and I think our wedding song was simply perfect,
because you are loved: "Just the way you are"
I could go on but the major point I want to stress is this:
I love you with every fiber of my being, my very soul,
for <NAME>, with you in my life I feel complete,
yes, you are the one that makes me completely whole.
The people in the adverts,
were always young and oh so bright,
slim, exciting and attractive,
their clothes seemed to fit just right.
But you also let them know you were there for them,
and it's all those little things I appreciate so much,
I love your intelligence and your sense of humor,
and just for the record, my! How I love your tender touch.
Hello, our wonderful Mom and Dad,
these words and pictures are just for you,
because we're very proud of who you are,
and yes, we're very proud of what you do.
Now, we have only been together for a little over 3 years,
I guess we met relatively late on in life,
but <NAME>, I just wanted to say that I'm proud of you,
I'm very proud and honored to be called your wife.
I was deeply in love with you after only a few dates,
and without being presumptuous, you were in love as well,
you made your commitment very clearly, very early on,
you obviously knew that we had a tale to tell.
I love how, without hesitation and conditions,
you embraced my children, tightly to your chest,
you never made them feel you were the "replacement",
and in the difficult times, you just did your very best.
We have a 29 year difference in our age
but that has not stopped us from enjoying each other,
you're my best friend, my confidant,
you're my husband and yes, my lover.
We love, we listen, we understand one another,
and we never take an argument to bed
and I know that, just over twenty years ago,
"I do" were the finest words I ever said.
But life doesn't always run to plan,
I guess that's plain to see,
and some things just go and happen,
some things are just meant to be.
being friend just relationship
