26 years ago today I married the love of my life. I fell in love with this man not because he was wealthy, drove a great car, looked like a movie star....but because he accepted me for ME, faults and all. His soft and steady ways balance my emotional and impatient ways. We are complete opposites but he has never tried to change who I am. And he makes me laugh like no one else.

It hasn't all been easy - life has thrown us many curve balls - but they have only served to test our relationship strength and we always come out the other side still holding hands.

Mike - I love you with all my heart and am looking forward to the next 26 years
