| Posted by Kris Mara on 04/21/09 at 12:10 PM this is beautiful...I love the gift analogy and how you describe opening it together (as I think people can forget sometimes that they're supposed to be on the same team as their significant other)...anyway, this really touches me today. Happy anniversary! |
| Posted by Gabriel Ricard on 04/21/09 at 12:20 PM It sure does. Heh. Great opening. It sets the scene perfectly. |
| Posted by George Hoerner on 04/21/09 at 01:00 PM Congratulations MFS! And this is amazing today is our 30th together. Somehow she has put with me, cared for me, and we are still friends as well as everything else that goes with those years, kids, traveling, work, moving from north to south and east to west and back again. We've been more fortunate than many. We are celebrating tonight with a dinner out. |

| Posted by Gregory O'Neill on 04/25/09 at 09:00 PM Beautiful and uplifting. Maybe the holiest of all holidays are those kept by ourselves in silence and in sharing. The secret anniversaries of our hearts. Delighted. Thanks. |
