TO MY
ADORABLE WIFE, PATTY
July
25, 2014 marks our 55th Wedding Anniversary.
During
these past 55 years we have seen this country grow from 177,830,000
people to over 318,455,00. Together, we have contributed three
wonderful children to the population, who in turn have added seven
more.
We
have managed to survive eleven presidents and more congressmen and
governors than I care to count. We have lived through four wars,
three of which we were personally involved.
During
these past 55 years we have lived in 36 apartments, trailers, condos
and houses in 10 states, 20 municipalities and 20 ZIP codes, all of
which you turned into loving homes.
Yes,
there have been ups and downs and good times and not-so-good times,
but we prevailed. During this time, my love for you has grown and
grown. I love you now more than ever and will until the end of time.
Patty,
My Honey, you are a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother and my best
friend. May we have many, many more anniversaries together.
Love
Always,
Your
Honey
