To my husband; who never ceases to surprise me

Close to a week ago, I started the journey to the 20th year since I  tied the knot with a  very dear friend.

I promised to stay by my best friend's side till the end of times. It was a huge undertaking and I panicked. "I don't know him, but I know it's him. I have only seen him about half a dozen times in the past 3 years, always with others and never alone, what I know of  him is as a member of a group",  "well it's too late now, you can't possibly abandon him at this time; don't worry, it happens to everyone, it will be just fine, you do not need to "know" him, every day will be a journey of discovery and surprises".

So there I was, calming my nerves, telling me not to worry,  "he is a gentleman, he'll treat you well", and he had. He had remained true and so have I. He had stayed and cared, he had loved and respected, he had teased and shared, he has never raised his his voice or his hands except in excitement or for a hug. As the days rolled by and the years came, one after the other,  and the grey set in; he still loves me, he still tells me everyday;  he still tells me how beautiful I have made his life by being a part of it.

I tell him the same, I love him too; I have cared and I have shared, I have hoped and I have found, the essence of life by being his wife. Each new day have been a journey of discovery, each one with its own surprises. I look forward to the next 20 years, maybe another 20 years, of days full of new discoveries and just as surprising as the very first day..
