It’s hard to fathom that we’ve reached a milestone. Come April 6th, we have been married for twenty amazing years.
From the beginning, I knew I could rely on you. For the first time, I didn’t have to face my struggles alone. When you vowed in becoming my soulmate, you stood up to the plate in becoming a loving daddy to my children. Although the roads have been bumpy, the ride has been exhilarating.
The route may not always be smooth, but the pathway is attainable because of your steadfastness. With every twist and turn, I find strength while learning to lean on your shoulders. In your arms, there is a shelter in the midst of the rainstorms and warmth from the frigid winds.
You believed in me before I believed in myself. I am not afraid to be me when I am with you. Your laughter is music to my ears. When I look at you, I see the love in your eyes still twinkling … for me.
I want to thank you, babe, for all the years by my side. I pray that God grants us many more to come. I appreciate you, admire you, and love you more today than I did yesterday. I thank God for making us one, knowing that together we will weather the storms.
Your soothing voice calms my fears; your gentle touch chases away my tears.
Your strength is my abiding force; your soothing words, are my guiding source.

Thank you Mary for following us and Happy Anniversary, you sound very blessed in your Marriage.
The song, you needed me – has a lot of memories for me, the first time I heard it I was not a Christian but God used it to touch my heart, I didn’t understand what the words meant but I do now, God speaks to us in many ways. I will leave the Link for you.
