Congratulations on the 24 years! I remember reading that column in The Charlotte Observer when you first wrote it and felt such happiness for someone I only knew through that forum. Do something out-of-the-ordinary for your 25th as those aren't as common as they used to be, and you need to do it up right! Enjoy!

Love this! A wonderful description of how a loving relationship not only takes the sting out of life but makes it so much better.

Made me cry too! Very beautifully said! I will show it to my husband. After 47 years this August I hope he can do half as well as you did!!! We were married very young and there are lots of ups and downs, but he’s still the one and he makes me laugh. Congratulations to both of you! 🍻
