We're Celebrating

my sweet husband's birthday today!
He is my soulmate, friend, companion, partner
in parenting and I am blessed that
he is mine.

(sorry this pic is two years old)

Bill and I met just over 20 years ago,
a time when we were both single parents.
It was something new to him but
 I had been raising my two boys alone
for ten years by then.
I have to tell you that after
that amount of time alone and
finally getting back on my feet after
my divorce I had no intentions
of remarrying.
God had other plans!
Bill had two sons, I had two sons
and two years after we married
our son Alex was born.
Talk about starting over...
but that's a tale for another day.
All I know now is that I can not imagine
my life without him or our
boys, so glad I didn't close my heart
when God gave me the gift
of this very special man.

    Happy Birthday sweetie!!!
