A Love Note to My Life Partner

Today is our 27th wedding anniversary and I baked a cake for my life partner.

This unconventional courtship began in 1986…I was calling my sister on a pay phone (she lived in a co-ed barracks) and a man with a very sexy sound answered.  Talking to him was far more interesting than talking to my sister … 20 minutes later we finally hung up.  The next day my sister called me, “What did you say to my boss?!”

Our relationship developed by telephone, handwritten letters, and Hallmark cards.  When we finally met…we were engaged to be married seven days later.  My dude proposed while in a fever, so I asked him to ask me again the next morning.

The day we married was one of the very best days of my life – I am so glad we both took a chance on us.  Despite all the ups and downs…smooth sailing and rough patches…plus the occasional rut – I’ve not regretted marrying him.  No matter what else, I have always loved my life partner.  Sure, there were times I didn’t like some of his actions (or mine), but the love has been a constant thread upon which I cling.

My love letter …
