Twentieth-Fifth Wedding Anniversary May 14, 1992

To my Darling Wife,

Twenty-five years since you walked down that aisle and agreed to marry me. I still remember how beautiful you looked and that smile on your face. So much has happened in these years. Our love for each other has brought us three children whom we love so much. Your career as a surgeon in which I have seen you grow and mature. My career as a public servant and your support in that. But underneath all those "things" has been the fact that our love has only grown deeper for each other. At times we have only had the phone to keep us company but I have tried to make up for those absences when we were together. I have tried to carve out time in our busy lives to be just us. But as much as we are apart, I want you to know that I love you more than I did twenty-five years ago and I will love you every day in the future. In fact, I want as many years as God will give us together. No matter what the years bring us please remember one thing. I pledged my love to you twenty-five years ago today and I pledge my love to you every day in the future.

Your husband forever, Josiah
