My Evergreen

One more year past, many more to follow. You are wiser and kinder and better than I could have imagined, before you chose to marry me. Why me. I'm still in disbelief.

But I'm thankful every day, to have a man like you for keeps. A true man. And seriously so adorable too. You live sacrifice from morning till night, you exhale care daily, you speak to me only and always in love, you breed utter loyalty. On one hand I wish others could see you as I do, on the other, I'm so glad no one knows you the way that I know is true. Do you feel how special you really are? And not just to me. You're always helping others step forward, always keeping the main thing the main thing, always believing the best in a situation. You work harder than anyone I know. You rarely, or ever, complain. If your life was a seed, it'd grow up to be a fruit tree, forever in season. Or an evergreen granting people shade. You are my evergreen. You keep me grounded and make me feel secure. Without you I'd be running water, escaping past the banks, down the drain into a shallow stream. Chaos would quite possibly follow me. But you help me stop and breathe. Channeling the truth from my real. 

Did Jesus dare you to be with me?

You are brave. You are a man to know. I love you, forevermore. 

Happy Birthday to my only best husband in the world. 1978 was a celebrated time in space.
