Subject: Today is our Anniversary - 37 years

We were soooo young. It was my second marriage, his first. I had been abandoned by my first husband with an 18 month old daughter. He walked away from us in the middle of the night on Valentines Day.....

But then I met this cute, tall, brand-new policeman. I was working two jobs - one was at night selling tickets at an art-house movie theatre. I sold him a ticket.....he was with a date! But then he came back the next night and asked me if I'd like to go out sometime.

Our first "date" was after I finished that second job, it was late, we went out to a "drive-in" for a hamburger and a chocolate shake. He took me past my sister's house where I picked up my little girl, took me home, left me at my doorstep with a sweet kiss. We were married about 1 1/2 years later.

On the day of our ceremony (a depressing affair at city hall - I wore a red suit and scandalized my new MIL) he had been without sleep for 2 days. The Hell's Angels had come to town, and all shifts of policeman were on stand-by and days off cancelled. He was a zombie, but we went out to dinner after our "I do's" with his parents, went and picked up "our" little girl and went home to our tiny apartment. We didn't have a honeymoon - both went back to work the next day.

He is a wonderful, kind man who is always a gentlemen. He has loved me, raised another man's child as well as our own and come home every night. He is a steady man, you can count on - beloved by two daughters and now 3 more little girls.

I love you, Big Guy.
