happy anniversary, yo

She may be the face I can't forget
The trace of pleasure or regret
Maybe my treasure or the price I have to pay
She may be the song that summer sings
May be the chill that autumn brings
May be a hundred different things
Within the measure of a day

She may be the beauty or the beast
May be the famine or the feast
May turn each day into a Heaven or a Hell
She may be the mirror of my dreams
A smile reflected in a stream
She may not be what she may seem
Inside her shell....

She, who always seems so happy in a crowd
Whose eyes can be so private and so proud
No one's allowed to see them when they cry
She maybe the love that cannot hope to last
May come to me from shadows in the past
That I remember 'till the day I die

She maybe the reason I survive
The why and wherefore I'm alive
The one I care for through the rough and ready years

Me, I'll take the laughter and her tears
And make them all my souvenirs
For where she goes I've got to be
The meaning of my life is
She....She
Oh, she....

Happy Anniversary! Si and I were just talking last night about the fact that your wedding was two years ago now! (I of course was correct that your anniversary is the 25th and not the 24th which Si thought it was!) Anyways, Happy 2 years and here's to many more!

Awww, sniff, sniff, this is such a lovely tribute (and that's not just the head cold talkin'). Congrats to one of the most delightful couples I've seen in a really long time.

Can you renew your vows or something?
And do it in Huddleston, VA?
Maybe do a different twist on it?
Version 2.
So then, I can go back and visit Smith Mountain Lake.

Congrats all the same.

Happy Anniversary!

Congratulation to my dear daughter and second son. You have given me Tripp, what I have always wanted for my children. And that is, for their partner in life to love them and adore them. You do not marry someone because you can't leave without them, you marry someone that you can live with!

I hope you have many more to come.
