“Anniversary Thoughts”

Today is my wife’s and my forty-seventh wedding anniversary. Here are a few random thoughts about this momentous, gargantuan day.
- I was amazed when she married me. I am more amazed now.
- I didn’t think she would be as wonderful as I thought she would be. I was right. She was even more wonderful than I thought she would be. In particular, her wisdom and sense of humor are much more spectacular than I knew at the time. (The fact that I am often the butt of her practical jokes—as well as the occasional recipient of hard wisdom—does not, in any way, compromise my delight in either her jokes or in her wisdom.)
- I wasn’t mature enough to marry my wife or anyone else, but she was farsighted and patient. She saw that I might someday grow up to be an actual human being. There have been some signs here of late that this might actually be occurring. However, let’s not be premature baby!
- Laughter is a major ingredient in our relationship. Sometimes, we’re not even sure what we are laughing about, but who cares.
- I am discovering that getting my own way and being in control aren’t nearly as much fun as getting out of my own way and being in love.
- I have discovered that you really can love someone for a lifetime. There is enough mystery in every heart, mind, and soul to last for forty-seven years. Indeed, there is enough to last forever.
Happy anniversary, Princess! I love you so much!
