Happy 45 Years

Ill do everything I can, to make you proud to be my man

And Ill fulfill all you fantasies

I guess we're promising a lot

but for now its all we've got

And Ill stand by you thru our rockin years





Rockin chairs, rockin babies, rock-a-bye, rock of ages

Side by side well be together always

And if you'll hold me tight when you love me

That's all Ill ask of you

And Ill stand by you thru our rockin years

Ill be your friend, Ill be your lover

Until the end, there'll be no other

cause my heart has only room for one

Yes, Ill always love you,

and Ill always be here for you

And Ill stand by you thru our rockin years





Rockin chairs, rockin babies,

rock-a-bye, rock of ages

Side by side, well be together always

And, yes, Ill always love you

and Ill always be here for you

And Ill stand by you thru our rockin years,

and Ill be here

And Ill stand by you thru our rockin years

Halleluah we made it, Although some thought it would not last. (Due to the age difference.)
Our love and devotion has only grown stronger.
As we lounged in the hot tub, I asked David a question, he responded with "I DO"
I said "You said those two words 45 years ago today,"
And we both still mean it.
Take those two words, break them down, It is not difficult.
"I" is one person, it is I, Me, No one else.
"Do" not maybe, not when I feel like it, only when I am not mad, but "DO" A very strong word.
We took this oath and we meant to stick by it.
Has it been easy? Not at all.
Has it been worth it?
In every sense of the word.
We have grown accustomed to each other. We can finish each others sentences,.
We are each others best friend.
We also made a vow years ago to discuss what is bothering us, It has not always been easy and most of the time it was trivial. sometime when we put our thoughts into words, it sounds so childish.
Most of our disagreements were trival. We never had big issues.
We had the usual issues, Money, children, decisions, children, homes, children, cars, Bills and Children.
So you see, Children have been at the forefront of all our decisions. Not always a popular decision, but one we agreed on.
We were the mean parents but we were respected. I see adult children yell at their parents, that is not excusable. I see rudeness, that is not excusable.
One thing we are adamant about has been respect.
We respect each other. We still say, Please and Thank you to each other. We never demand.
There is so many reasons our marrige has lasted so long.
I guess it can all come down to a few minor things, which when combined are astronomical.
Respect, playing, laughter, tears (shed together). Keeping God as the head of our home and decisions have only made us stronger.
We still play and tease each other. We still laugh a lot.
We know tomorrow one may not be here so we cherish each moment and never miss an opportunity to say "
I Love You!!!
