To My Rare One on Our 8th Anniversary

While we missed out on being young together, we can hopefully look forward to being old together . . . . I can see us many years from now in the seniors home . . . you, me, Her Royal Highness the cat or her successor . . . two old babas doting on our beloved feline . . . .


And if that's not excitement enough, we'll get all gussied up and go to the activities room to play canasta . . . .


Grow old along with me!
The best is yet to be,
The last of life, for which the first was made:
Our times are in his hand
Who saith, "A whole I planned,
Youth shows but half; trust God: see all, nor be afraid!"

--Robert Browning

Love you! xoxoxoxoxo

    You missed out on absolutely nothing by not spending your youth together. My husband and I spent our 20's trying to pay off student debt, complaining about how much we hated our jobs and being too tired to make anything for dinner but frozen processed chicken nuggets. There's a lot to be said for not being young anymore!
    Happy anniversary!!

    Just a wonderful love letter, Debra! I'm sure your Fine One will cherish it, and agree that she's as blessed to have you as you are to have her.

    And Snap is right...you two will ROCK the retirement home...but not until you have many years of a shared and happy life behind you.

    Have a lovely anniversary to celebrate that special bond...:)

    HA HA..that picture is funny. I showed it to my mother (who is an old baba herself) Then she asked if you were one of those 'lazabeams' that I write to. That is her way of saying lesbian. I love my mom - she is so out of touch. Happy Anniversary to you and your other. I want to see a picture sometime. Unless you would rather wait unill the summer when we WILL meet for lunch and drinks.
