Hi B., you can either buy or make a book with lace, and write a letter to your husband, an Annivarsary letter. It made his eyes water ge was so touched by it. This is what I wrote
I love you not only for what you are and who you are, but for what I am when I am with you, I love you not only for what you made of yourself, but forwhat you have helped me to become. I love you for the parts of me that you bring out, that other wise I would keep iside, I love you for putting your hand into the depths of my heart and forgiving me for all the foo,ishness and weakness that you can't help but se in there, and bringing out the best in me no one else had looked far enough to find. I love you for excepting me as I am and holding on tight to the possibilities of who I can become. I love you for the way you calm the discords within me
and adding to the music in me with faithful listening. I love you for helping me make the most of life, taking each day as it comes. I love you because you have done more to complete my life than any other person, and more thanh any fate could have done to make me happy. Your love for God and your leadership in our now 19 years of marriage is an insperation to me and has created what we are as one. Love is a symbol of eternity, it wipes out all sense of time and all fear of an end.
This was for our 19th we didn't follow the tradition, I liked the idea of coming up with our own ideas, I got a glue gun, and I bought tablet and I put material and lace on it, and of course when he opened it, right on the inside on the left I had a picture of us, the next page had a picture of all 3 of our kids, and then the letter, we've been married for 27 years, and this letter means as much to him today as it did 9 years ago.
