Today Dave and I have been married for 28 years. It is a long time. We have been through a lot of life in that time. We have experienced the illness and death of our fathers. Lost three grandparents to old age. Lived through alcoholism and recovery. We gave birth to our son and raised him. We built a house. We took on raising our grandchildren. We survived having an ex-spouse and finding a place of understanding with her. We raised the children from that marriage. We survived the tumultuous relationship with Tanya. We are blessed in our new daughter-in-law Kristie. We applaud our son Doug for his life choices. We have been saddened with our son Mike's choices in his addiction. We have survived all of it.
We continue to live through recovery, addiction, parenting grandchildren, my mom's dementia and life in general. Seems like yesterday and many lifetimes ago we got married. We have lived many lifetimes since then. And today we rejoice in having lived through all of it and still stand united for 28 years. Happy anniversary Dave. I love you. Thanks for being with me through all the good and the hard.
