Twenty

I just typed that word and it looks so WEIRD

And I want to spell check it....because it does NOT look right.

TWENTY

It looks like a typo doesn't it?

But it's not.

TWO times TEN

FIVE times FOUR

TWENTY

Twenty years ago I..............

patted my daddy on the arm and told him it would be okay as I walked down an aisle in yards of lace

pledged that his people would be my people

danced under the stars

TWENTY

Twenty years later I........

answer people who ask "how did you make it so long?" by saying

equal parts love, friendship, faith....AND

STUBBORNNESS

We were/are both too damn stubborn to throw in the towel and cry "uncle" when things got/get too hard.

Heads up to all you newlyweds......things ALWAYS get hard. Repeatedly. Buckle up.

"the HARD is what makes it GREAT"....hats off to Jimmy Duggan in a "League of their Own" for that last quote.

But if you can hold on through the hard....well

I'll leave it to you to pen you own happy "neverending"
