“You’re the One I’ll Always LOVE”

“When we started out, we thought the road of love would be simple.  Since then we’ve discovered it has twists and turns, ups and downs, blessings and challenges, laughter and tears.  But through every step there is one thing that has never changed…There’s no one I would rather share the journey with than you.”

Those are the words in Irene’s 30th anniversary card to me which includes this verse, which was not only on our wedding invitations but is also engraved on Irene’s wedding ring:

“And now these three remain: faith, hope and love.  But the greatest of these is love” 1 Corinthians 13:13

I won’t share her “warm and fuzzy” editorial comments in the card…     

This evening, the actual day of our 30th wedding anniversary, Irene’s challenged by raging nausea and back muscle spams from dialysis treatment earlier today.

Thanks for caring,
Dave

March 1, 2010 celebrates our 30th wedding anniversary ….!!!

To commemorate the big event we purchased PERSEVERANCE, aThomas Kinkade painting.

Given Irene’s Journey of Faith, we thought that the painting title, PERSEVERANCE, was very germane ….!!!  PERSEVERANCE defined: to persist steadily in an action or belief, usually over a long period and especially despite problems or difficulties.

A gallery “Master Highlighter” accentuated our painting in the photo below although we ultimately changed out the frame from wood to gold as photographed above.

At times this last week, Irene has experienced “Tsunami like” waves of nausea, coming and going like the surf of the sea.  She faithfully perseveres.

30 years …. and counting ….

Thanks for caring,

Dave
