Ooops!  On July 10th, I missed acknowledging the 10th anniversary of the day my wife and I signed the documents to close the deal on buying our home.  It has been quite a ride.

Still, there is another far more important anniversary that I want to mark today.  This is the 20th Anniversary of when my wife and I stood before a St. Louis County, MO, Justice of the Peace and had his secretaries witness  that we exchanged vows to be Husband and Wife.

Happy Anniversary, honey.  To this day, I’m amazed that you put up with my bad jokes, my physical challenges, and the limits our marriage put on your quality of life.  I remain your faithful companion, and will be such as long as I am still able to help your life feel easier or better.

Love, Vernon
