Dear First Lady
I know
tradition has it that on this morning I place cards Happy Anniversary cards on
your breakfast tray. But things are somewhat mixed up. I substituted a gift
& delivered it a few weeks ago.
Still this is the day, the day that
marks 31 years of such happiness as comes to few men. I told you once that it
was like an adolescent's dream of what marriage should be like. That hasn't
changed.
You know I love the ranch but these last two days made it plain
I only love it when you are there. Come to think of it that's true of every
place & every time. When you aren't there I'm no place, just lost in time
& space.
I more than love you, I'm not whole without you. You are
life itself to me. When you are gone I'm waiting for you to return so I can
start living again.
Happy Anniversary & thank you for 31 wonderful
years.
I love you
Your Grateful Husband
