Bountiful Grace
Twenty-five years ago today, I wed my beautiful bride. She is the light of my life; my rose and the heart of my heart. Her name literally means bountiful grace, and graced I am. I thank God for her every day. Maybe one day she'll meet the other me, but she already knows Andrea because she knows and loves me, and that's wonderful, yes? Thank you for your continued prayers and love. Andrea

Wonderful Andrea.
It's fantastic to reach you 25th wedding anniversary. May you have many more of them and lets hope Bountiful grace will meet Andrea one day.
PS Sorry for the rant on Becoming Whole 2 yesterday. It's been a bit of a bad one for me these last few days.
Thank God for my supportive wife also. She's helped me through it.
We married in 1975 and she knew of Beverly before we wed. Amazingly she's only ever had a brief glimpse of Beverly but she accepts that Beverly is there.
Enjoying your story despite my being cynical at the moment, give me a few more weeks and I'll be out of it.
Love and hugs,
Beverly.
a belated congratulations
For those who are special to one's self, it is a natural thing to want to share in their special moments, and I feel so bad to have missed this one. But it is better late than never, right?
Many say that, when they give their congratulations for such special events, it is borne out of a simple wish that the friend enjoy her special day. It is true, I'm sure, for the most part, but for myself, a large component of this is that I would, in a way, be able to experience that same joy in that same special way, if only vicariously.
It is often a vain wish, since how can one know and feel the same things? The best that the imagination can do is but a pale approximation. Still and all, I cannot help it.
How can one know how it can truly be, to be together with one's special someone for such a long time. I cannot help but imagine all the wonderful things that you've had, and, looking back, even the bad times you two went through probably now have a rosy patina on them that make even these things wonderful. Love, I think, tends to do that.
Aunt Andrea, I hope you will allow me this moment of selfishness, and imagine myself to have such a partner in life that can conjure remembered moments like that, that has been with me for a quarter of a century or more, that gives me a feeling of love that only grows with time. Maybe one day, I can have that, too.
With just a bit of envy, and a lot of love,
my congratulations.
