We exchanged simple anniversary cards and he gifted me with my favorite red Bromellad plant. Our union, he said, can be likened to this plant ----which grew over the years, and will continue to grow as we water and nurtured this relationship with love, understanding, laughter, humor, patience and care which we have done all these years and will continue to do.
We only have each other here at home but Rick has embraced my daughters, Anne and Jade and their husbands, Yani and Duane, into his life and, most of all, my 2 lovely grandkids: Migs and Gina. Conversely, I communicate with his sisters and dad who are all based in West Virginia.
To celebrate this day, dinner will be at a favorite restaurant then watch a movie. This is our simple celebration...yet nothing is simple when we consider each other as the best that has happened to both of us!
