She’s a friend, someone to come home to (or to welcome home), an advisor, a helper, a lover, mother, partner, collaborator, inspiration, supporter, enricher. She encourages me to bigger and better things, keeps me on the strait and narrow, and makes sure I have fun. <\/p>\n
She helps me be a better person than I would be without her. <\/p>\n
My life is a quantum leap better today than it was seven years ago, and she’s directly responsible for that.<\/p>\n
We’re going out for dinner tonight (Kitten being babysat by the Testermans). We’ll eat some good food (not as good as what she cooks), talk about this and that, laugh, gaze lovingly into each others’ eyes, and have a really nice time.<\/p>\n
Which is sort of a microcosm of what my life is like with her.<\/p>\n
Happy Anniversary, my love.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
