Larry and I have been married now for 25 years. To express all the changes those years brought would take a book, but the one thing that never changed was Larry. Each day has been an affirmation of his love for me. When Larry and I got married I didn’t really know him, but he seemed to know everything about me. In his eyes I was everything he had pictured me to be. After we married we had a VHS camera and I remember taping him for the first time and realizing I liked the way he walked. As each year passed there was something I learned about my husband that I hadn’t seen from the beginning. I expect in some way, as we grow together, he becomes more and more a part of me.

Larry asked me to marry him only two months after having met. What we learned in the years to come was a trust in one another, faith on a wing and a prayer, laughter and hope and that love is a process. Each day with a kiss he says “I love you” and with each passing year I learn something new about his love.

What I know of love is: you lift me up, you fill my dreams, you don’t let go.

What I know of love is: your need for me, tenderly, you hold me close.

What I know of love is: the life you’ve given me, the children we’ve grown.

What I know of love is: you’re there for me, cause you care for me and I love you so.
