To My Wife On Our Anniversary
Friday, April 16, 2010 at 8:26AM Twelve,
Who’d have thought?
I still remember each laugh.
I still remember each tear…and why.
On the pier we laid, vulnerable, ignorant, surrounded by nature and the love we now raise our children in.
I knew then what I know now,
Your strength is envious.
Contagious.
Our lives are far from perfect.
Our beliefs stray from the norm.
Our love has been more than challenged.
You’re undying kindness and devotion,
Is humbling and heart-warming.
The mornings we laid dreaming of years from now,
In the place we’ll call home,
Returning back to nature,
Together,
The two of us.
The journey getting there will be ours, remarkable, painful, revealing…
You are my hero.
You are my best friend.
You are my children’s mother.
You are my wife.
You are…everything I wish I was…

let the heart-melting commence!
What a wonderful way to honor your wife and mother of your children on your anniversary! Well done daddy!
I didn't realize your wife was a lesbian (zing.) Seriously what a wonderful and heartfelt post. You did good daddy.
That was sweet. All I get for my anniversary is dinner and if I am lucky a piece of jewelry.
Wow, that is really sweet. And not one single swear word! There is hope for you yet. Your wife is doing a great job molding you. :) Ha! As if that was possible... Anyhow, Congratulations to you both!!
Wishing you and your wife many years of happiness and love.
-->Great way to "practice" having another child!
Awww...goosebumps.
Adam & I will have been together 10 years this December (married 7 this July). It's hard to believe how fast those years fly by. The good & the bad, it's all been worth it.
Looking back and looking forward. Beautiful :)
Congratulations!
(hubby and I hit the big 8 next Sunday)
Great post. Nice to see the sweet side occasionally (and I mean, occasionally...I personally like salty better!). Congratulations on 12 years. My hubs and I will hit 27 in June (I got married when I was 8).
Beautiful. Ain't it awesome you can shoot it from the rooftops now? Thanks for sharing.
What a beautiful gift for your wife! Isn't it amazing to look back on all the things you've been through together after all these years?! Congratulations & may you have even more happy memories to write about in another 12 years! :-)
that is THE. SWEETEST. THING. i've heard in a long time. Congratulations on your anniversary!
