26 years ago I married this remarkable woman. One year ago we celebrated a quarter century together in Bora Bora, where this picture was taken. I've known and been with her for more than half my life, and she knows me better than anyone on the face of this planet. I wouldn't have it any other way, nor would my God. He ordains the days of our lives, the seasons of our cycles, and the eternity of our future. I live in the "already, but not yet". The "already" of knowing (but not fully) my inheritance and a foretaste of heavenly divine in her as a bride to the groom. The "not yet" of perfect abode, but this time as the bride to the Groom of all grooms. I love her and Him, marriages that will yield crops of blissful souls that will all love as we've never loved before, and be loved as we've never fully known before.
Happy Anniversary Sweetheart. It simply doesn't get much better than this. But then again, it just might (hard to imagine) when we both walk down that aisle and say "I do" to Jesus who welcomes us with a smile on His face, open arms and a touch like none other. I long for His embrace, but for now I cherish yours more than any other.
I love you,
Tom
