60 Years

While shopping for a wedding card for my friend, I noticed an old man reading anniversary cards. He carefully picked them up and put them back down as he tried to decide which one to get. He caught me looking and asked if I would mind helping him pick out a card. He had one that he liked but he wasnt really set on. So I read it and told him that it was beautiful and that his wife would be touched by how sweet it was. I noticed a card that I grabbed and read and placed on top of the wedding card I had picked. He looked at the card I had placed in my hands and he asked me how long we had been together. I told him it would be a year on the 25th. He smiled and looked at me and said it'll be 60 years on the 14th for me. We made it a few more years then you.

As I watched him talking about his anniversary and his wife it touched me to see that after all those years he still had so much love for her. He couldnt pick just any card for this woman who stole his heart. He needed the perfect card and with my help he found it.

I hope in 59 years around the time of our anniversary, someone ask us how long we have been married and like this man I hope that with love in our eyes we can proudly say we have been together 60 years and we plan to be together forever more!

Love like that is so hard to find and I am so glad that I found the one person I want to spend the rest of eternity with. Everytime I feel our baby move all I can do is think about how lucky she is to have Steve as her daddy and what an amazing man he is. Through all my crying and crazy pregnancy hormones he still comes home each night, kisses me, and tells me how much he loves me. He has truly blessed my life and this past year being married to him has been one of the best I have had and cannot wait for the many many many more years to spend with him.
