H for Husband

Wednesday marked our 31^st wedding anniversary.  On 26 June 1982, Charlie and I were married at my home church in Hope, Indiana USA.  We didn’t have a penny or a clue between the two of us.  But we did have hope, faith and love.

And that has made all the difference.

Add to that significant doses of forgiveness, patience, and perseverance and here we are 31 years out having the time of our lives with a whole bank of great memories to last us well into our retirement years.    

Here’s a brief recap of our adventures that I compiled for him last year:

This past weekend, Charlie planned a staycation for us here in Singapore.  A 15-minute cab ride and we were ready to start our holiday.  With early check-in, late check-out, executive floor food and drink, and a suite upgrade, who cared that the haze outside was in the hazardous range?   We implemented Plan B and had a great time.  It helps that we enjoy each other’s company.  There’s no one on planet earth that I’d rather spend time with.

So H is dedicated to husband.  Webster’s defines it as “a woman’s partner in marriage.”  But Charlie has been more than that.  He’s my partner in life.  We fight, (man, can we fight), we laugh, we talk, we cook, we read, we travel, we chill together.  God is great. Life is good. We are blessed.
