When I was young, I told myself I would never marry. Strange thoughts for a little girl barely more than 7 years old, but there were situations in my childhood that formed that idea. I shut my heart down, thinking it would be easier not to have any pain or cause pain to anyone else. My Father in heaven was looking out for me more than I knew and must have chuckled when I made that vow. He knew that what I needed more than anything else to mend my broken heart was someone of incredible beauty in my life. So I grew up and stayed out of relationships because they were painful, complicated things to me. Then I moved away from it all and found him. His sweet and gentle manner captivated me. I never knew that a man could be so loving. He wooed me in ways I had never known.
It is years later and here we are, still together and in love. It hasn't always been easy. In fact at times, it's been more than a bit of a rollercoaster ride. The greatest gift I could have received today was written
here. See why I fell in love, when I thought my heart was destined to be my own forever.

Oh Nancy,
I sat with tears in my eyes reading your gift of love…
I had to smile at you being loud, I just can’t imagine.
It is funny how one moment in time sets the script for all things to come…
Love should never be taken for granted. I wake each morning thanking god that I am loved and have
Someone to love…
Happy Valentine’s Day to the both of you,

Your devotion to each other knows no bounds...
I can only hope that one day I will find a love like yours ... You both give me hope that it could happen... I am close to giving up and feeling it is not in the stars for me

Thanks for sharing this with the world. I am a bit soured on romance and love at the moment and I surely needed the reminder that there are good and decent and loving men out there. I am so happy for you that you love someone who loves you too. And who really sees you and really knows you.
Beautiful Nancy.
It is so wonderful to see people in love and even more to see them stay in love.
Best Wishes for a long happy life together.
Hugs
