Forty three years ago, today, I made the second best promise of my life, to love Sherelene for the rest of my life.  The best promise was to accept and honor Christ, and Sherelene would agree with those rankings.  God has so richly blessed us with a wonderful family, our health, and a fantastic life together.

 

I met my bride when my father was in the hospital recovering from cataract surgery.  This pretty student nurse came by and I asked her if she would get my father a cup of ice water.  She responded she would check his chart and see if he was allowed to have some.  I assured her it would be fine!  She later told me I was the cockiest guy she had ever met. We went out shortly after that and we both only kept one other pre agreed to date after that, with those obligations taken care of, we never dated anyone else, ever again….

 

Our relationship of forty three years has had it share of challenges, highs, and lows, but through it all we’ve stuck together, supported, and prayed for one another, and our love has grown stronger and better.  Sherelene once remarked that she raised four children, our three, and me!  I’m afraid it is true, and she did a great job with our three children, she’s still working on me, the perpetual child!. Once I grow up, I hope to grow old with  her!

 

Thnak you sweetheart for honoring me with your love, and allowing me to be a part of your life! Happy Anniversary!
