Figgertoes -
you know how hard it is for me to type right now with one arm, so this
won't be a long missive.
19 years ago today, we got married. 22 years ago today, i rang your
doorbell. you blew your chance to turn out the light and pretend that you
had moved. You stuck with me thru thick and thin. More thin lately, it
seems. Over 4 years since diagnosis. 4 yrs with no serious job. 4 years
of pain, depression, and everything that comes with illness. Screwball
insurance policies. Doctors. 4 years of waiting for the eventual word that
nothing was working anymore and that the lights will finally go out this
fall. longest 6 months i've ever waited thru.
so happy anniversary and know i love you. we dont get the long happy
retirement and golden years that we were promised in 1986. stick to your
guns and enjoy life down here while it lasts. you can still look forward to
enjoyment, and i'll be waiting up there for what comes next. Count on a
cure then and a happier time muddling thru life after.

that was beautiful. I am keeping that if you don't mind. I would like to
read that to Curtis at some later time.

Socks, what a star you are, they were some of the most beautiful words I
have read for a long time (although I had to do some rapid blinking reading
them ;-) and will be something that Fig can treasure from here to eternity.
I wish you both a Happy Anniversary. We didn't quite get to our 17th (by
two days) but I forgive him for not sending a card ;-)
Warm Hugs to you both

You surprised the heck out of me by going public, Socks.
You sweetie, you.
22 years (+ one day) of living and loving (and everything else that goes with a
longterm union).
Congratulations to Figgertoes and Socks.

Bloody hell Socks! I come back from holiday, and not only are you still here
(yippee!) but you write words that put a lump in my throat. Lord knows what
happened to Fig when she read it.
Many, many heartfelt congratulations to you both on your anniversary.

Thank you. It's a personal best for both of us!
