Forty Fifth Wedding Anniversary

Forty Five Years

It is hard to believe that it has been 45 years since we got married. And it has been 45 wonderful years. Oh, there has been ups and downs as we went along the way but most of all the deep understanding love we have for each other was made in heaven. She is my soul mate, my lover, my reason for living, and all that too. As I was listening to the radio the other day this song came on that fits the occasion perfectly.

Then

I remember trying not to stare the night I first met you
You had me mesmerized
Three weeks later under the front porch light
Taking forty five minutes to kiss good night
I hadn't told you that
I thought I loved you then

Now your my whole life
Now your my whole world
I just can't believe
The way I feel about you girl
Like a river meets the sea
Stronger than its ever been
We've come so far since that day
And I thought I love you then

I remember taking you back
To right where I first met you
You were so surprised
There were people around
I got down on one knee right there, I didn't care
And I thought I loved you then

Now your my whole life
Now your my whole world
I just can't believe
The way I feel about you girl
Like a river meets the sea
Stronger than its ever been
We've come so far since that day
And I thought I love you then

I can just see you
With a baby on the way
I can just see you
When your hair is turning gray
But I just can't see how
I'm going to love you more
But I said that before

Now your my whole life
Now your my whole world
I just can't believe
The way I feel about you girl
Like a river meets the sea
Stronger than its ever been
We've come so far since that day
And I thought I love you then

And I thought I love you then

------------------------
So on that wonderful day, July 26, 1964, we started this lifetime of love. As we go on from here we continue to love each other until our dieing day and beyond.

I love you my dear

Gerald
