23 years

Today is our anniversary. 23 years she's put up with me, 23 years that went by like it was only hours.
Hoping for another 23.

We first met when I got home from 'nam but me being bugnuts from the war I knew there was no chance that I could make it work. 20 years later we find ourselves in each others company and well the rest is history. What a wonderful wife, mother, friend and all around good person I can say is my soul mate.
I love that girl

We all want it. We all need it. It is precious, and should be appreciated. It is so hard to find.

How sweet. You were BOTH lucky to have found each other. I have one of those and there are no greater riches on earth than to have the love of your life be your life partner.

Congratulations on 23 years and may you have 23 more!

I've been in love with my soulmate for almost 26 years, and I love him more now than I did when the relationship was new. He's difficult too sometimes. You and I are both very lucky people.

I love hearing stories like yours! Here's hoping for at least another 23.



My hubby and I will celebrate 22 next month, and like you, I can't believe he has put up with me for so long. I hope you and your lovely bride have a fabulous anniversary. You deserve it.
