Today is our 44th wedding anniversary. On such an occasion, I thought it would be fun to reminisce about how we got here. I thought I’d bring a few of you, my friends, along for a little retelling of the story. God is good.
Seventeen letters from her and eighteen letters from him later, and it was time for “he” and “she” to finally meet one another in person.

Each letter revealed just a little bit more about the person holding the pen.
About a month before he came home on leave, he sat down to write. The mood struck him to write another poem. The poem took her by surprise – for it was on the theme of love.

Happy Anniversary! While my Wayne and I met before we started writing. That’s how we got to know each other, too. We had a long distance romance that ended a little more than a year later in us getting married. We’ll celebrate 40 years this year. Whoever said that long distance romances don’t work – well, look at us!
