Seventeen

On January 16, 1993 I married my best friend.  Cliche, I know, but true. 

For better, for worse…for richer, for poorer…in sickness and in health.

We’ve mostly had better, but at times we’ve had worse.

We’ve enjoyed being richer, and trudged through our days being much, much poorer.

We’ve suffered through sicknesses, and thank the good Lord have been blessed with much, much more health.

And I thank God everyday that in the one choice that mattered the very most in my life, I chose right.
