Willard and my anniversary is tomorrow, June 3rd. We have talked and decided instead of going out to dinner, we would make it breakfast instead. Willard and I do not buy each other gifts for our anniversary. Every year since the first year we were married, we have written each other love letters. And this year, I have decided to write my letter on my blog, for not only him to see, but all. So here it is……
Dear Willard
Happy 19th anniversary. I want to start by saying that I love you more today than yesterday. That's because each day my love for you grows. You are, as I have told you every year, the love of my life. You are indeed the best thing that's ever happened to me.
You have always been very respectful to all people. Sometimes husbands respect other people while showing their wives no respect at all. But you have always showed me respect and I do appreciate that. I think that's why our marriage is so good, because we do respect each other. You can make my day just by your smile and that little glimmer in your eye, that says I love you. I do want to thank you for being here for me and doing all that you have. I've watched you clean house during my treatments. You have cooked for me, washed clothes for me, you have completely taken over all the work and the house without complaining at all. Thank you.
Willard, as both of us fight this cancer, because truly it is affecting both of us. I want to thank you for all the times you waited in the doctors office with me, and for me while I take my treatments. I'd like to thank you for all the sleepless nights you spent in hospitals/emergency rooms with me. Every time I've ever needed you, you were there. Thank you so much.
Happy anniversary my dear sweet husband, I'll love you eternally.
Your wife, your friend Joan.
