It was a beautiful ceremony. I can remember looking into your eyes as we recited
our vows. It was at that moment I knew that my life was finally complete.
Reggie, you’ve been a huge
inspiration to me throughout our marriage. Even when times were band, you always
stayed positive. When Emily was born and had to stay in the intensive care unit
for several months, you always tried to stay positive for me. It if wasn’t for
you, I would have completely fallen apart those months.
You’ve inspired me to be a hard
worker. After the twins came and I had to work lses to take care of them, you
picked up a second job so that we would have enough money to get by. I don’t
know how you did it those days when you had to wake up at five in the morning
and didn’t drag yourself back into the house until ten o’clock that night. You
were exhausted, but never failed to give me a kiss, and talk with me about my
dya. Sometimes you would fall asleep while I was talking, but I knew you would
hear me so I could continue to talk to you.
It is those days that I think
about when I contemplate giving up. When I think about stopping work, when the
car breaks down, when life throws me a curve ball, I think about those nights
when you would drag your tired body into the house but never cared about
yourself, and instead turned the focus and your attention on me and my day.
Reggie, you have made my life
simply wonderful. I want you to know how happy you have made me, but words
cannot describe it. You’ve brightened by life in large ways and small. Having
you wake up next to me for the past fifty years, knowing that you’re there for
me through thick and thin has made life worth living.
It is because of these reasons that I would like to give you a gift. It’s a
picture of us fifty years ago and one of us today, with a quote weaving between
them. The photos illustrate how our love has grown and lasted, and the quote
vocalizes the many years of love we have yet to come.
Thank you so much for marrying
me on this day fifty years ago. You’ve brightened my life every single day
since. I am eternally grateful for your love and our marriage. I wouldn’t change
a single thing. Happy 50th anniversary, Reggie. I love you, and will continue to
do so until the day I am no longer on this earth. Thank you.
