Can you remember, how when you were a child everything was either a joy or
mystery? That you were likely so full of hope and promise, as only those of us truly
innocent can ever really be? Free and without fears, or obstacles standing in the way
of our dreams, no matter how outlandish they may have been.
I remember. As plainly as I remember my first loss and the man who took with him my
childhood. He was my grandfather, the only father figure I would know, really and he
was everything in my youngest years. Walking oh so briskly every evening after dinner
to the store; an ice cream for me, the racing post for him. That last Christmas
morning, catching him eating Santa's cookies, and how I had scolded him...still
another memory of him sitting in his chair, my willing subject for playing, "hair salon".
My memories of him are good, sweet, kind and loving....I recall feeling so loved and
protected and cared for.
Funny but after losing him in 1973, all of those securities seemed lost for such a very
long time...until that is I met you, this time around in 2006. This coming Wednesday,
January 14, 2009 will mark a full three years passed between us. The first three years
of eternity. That while we travelled the same circles since 1979, parted a time or two
since then, this time around, my Love, I will never ever let you go. For You see, my
Darling, all of that security and love....the freedom to dream and act so openly as a
child. To live life unafraid or without fear of failure? All of the things I thought I had
lost? You see, Dear One, with YOU...and because of YOU....I have them again.
For everything YOU are and have done for me....please....my heart is Yours, now and
forever, Happy Anniversary, to You, my Love, Husband, "First M".
