Wow...38 years! That's a long time! It's been 38 years of giving 100 % from both of us! It has been 38 years of daily making the decision to see this marriage through! Yes, it's hard work sometimes but worth it all in the long run...to have your children "thank you" for staying together when marriages are falling apart all around you, to have them "thank you" for giving them a stable & loving home, to have them "thank you" for always being there when they needed you! And now, to have the grandkids doing the same! So, has it been worth it? Yes, it's been worth it!
We were married on Oct. 6th, 1971 (3 days before his birthday) he would turn 21yrs old! My dad wasn't quite sure about this young man who suddenly came into our lives to take his daughter away but before long they became very good friends and loved each other so much! They had many, many fun times together! Lots of stories...lots of memories!
I am so thankful for my husband! He loves the Lord with all his heart and he loves me unconditionally! He has been a good husband & a wonderful friend!
He has a quiet, gentle spirit. He is a honest, humble man and is very dedicated to his family!
He is a faithful, loving husband, a wonderful father and super-great paw-paw
He is a christian, a peacemaker and a very, very hard worker
He is kind, trustworthy and a friend to many
He is a fantastic gardener - has a green thumb - he can grow anything
He was once a commercial fisherman and also (what some called) a shade tree mechanic
He is an inventor and one of the "best" insulaters in the world
He loves the outdoors, nature, land, rocks, trees - he loves history, science & travel!
He is a very simple, down to earth, country man!
Thanks Larry for being all these things (and more) in our lives!
Happy Anniversary and Happy, Happy Birthday! We love you!
