Happy, Happy Aniversary to my husband, Barry!

Happy Anniversary to my husband, Barry…

August 14, 1976.

My name changed. My life changed. My eternity changed.

The greatest dream that any woman could ever dream came true when you said “I do” 37 years ago today.

You gave me Keith and Adam. You gave me Audrey and Jane. These are beyond gifts. These are miracles.

We began a journey that would give us 10 more miracles and another on the way, our precious grandchildren.

Your family embraced me. Your mom, who KNEW that you were, truly and honestly, the greatest thing since sliced bread and buttah, trusted me to love you as she did. And my family embraced you.

You may be the most handsome man in the world, with the biggest heart… but it was your humor that captured me first. I don’t think one day has passed when I have not laughed at your quick wit and your uncanny sense of comic timing. Oh, we all know that you don’t TELL jokes… rather, you SEE and FEEL the great height and depth of the humor of the human condition.

You are the only person in the world who can take a 24-hour day and turn it into 48. Your energy is enormous. You are an energy legend to anyone who knows you.

And most especially, your love is all-encompassing, all embracing… it multiplies by the moment. You have opened a giant circle to let everyone in.

Everyone loves you. Everyone respects you. Huh, I guess you ARE the best thing since sliced bread and buttah!

Just as I said on our Wedding Day so long ago, “I loved you yesterday.  I love you today.  I love you always.  And when in eternity, I will love you there again.”

Today, I say with all my love, Happy Anniversary, Honey!

    I guess it wouldn’t be a Sharon post if it didn’t make me teary at some point. I feel so blessed to have met you two in this crazy blogging world and then to have had the pure pleasure of meeting you in person. I feel like we have known you two forever. That is how special you two are. You let people into your life and make them feel like family. Enjoy your special day and forever keep showing the rest of us what love is truly all about. xoxoxo
