"opened My Heart:

I'm sitting here at my computer writing you this letter.
So many times you have filled my heart with love and joy.
I never had my own pair of bell bottom jeans til you bought them.
You were standing there holding my hand when I lost our
first baby.
The love I felt when we had the three most wonderful kids.
My first birthday cake when I was 19 you bought it for me.
Standing with me through all that crazy stuff and the
hysterectomy.
You have been there with me spending half my life in a
wheelchair.
We've had hard times but we always loved each other.
As I sit here watching you sleep I feel your love for me.
Our love for one another will never die.
For my darling husband mine forever and always.
                      Teresa Skyles
