Belated Congratulations dear Sally. I am sure your marriage, like all others was not a cat walk through a gilded ramp. It must have been dotted with love and misgivings, pain and sacrifice, but joy predominating...the joy of sharing and companionship. On this Feb. 11th we are completing 47 years. Wish you many more happy and blessed years of togetherness!

Sally, congratulations. It takes much work and sacrifice to stay together...hopefully as time passes our relationships such as this only get better. That is our hope for myself and for you!
