Happy Anniversary to My Love.

“There’s this guy…”  I remember the first time I tried to tell my parents, who lived up in Ohio (quite far from their daughter in Chattanooga), about Michael Day.    I’m sure I was effervescent.  I’m sure I was smiling profusely til my face hurt.

Oh how I thought I loved him.  After our first date.  You heard me. I was one of those hopeless romantic types.

Now, fourteen years later, I’m sure of it.

Since our thirteenth anniversary last fall, we have walked some pretty dark valleys.  Stuff I never dreamed of happening became my reality.  and his too.

But through all of it, our love has deepened and our bond has been strengthened.  My husband has been my hero, and my safe place, my best friend and seriously – my one true love.  With my hand in his, his stride slowed to my pace, he has walked with me every step. I could not be more grateful that the Lord saw fit for us to meet 15 years ago this fall,  that He has steadied us and He has kept us by His grace, together.

I love you, Michael!  Happy 14th Anniversary!
