Happy 51st anniversary to the love of my youth, my young adult years, through middle age, and now as we've entered our golden years, Allen Speegle!!!!

Oh, how thankful I am for a life that has been filled with love, forgiveness, growth, laughter, tears, joy, pain, sorrow, rejoicing, celebrations, do-overs, repentance, and more love!!!! We've experienced so much together, hand in hand, side by side!!!!

I remember when we first got married, and we would see elderly couples walking hand in hand with one another, and we said every time, 'We want to be that couple!'

Well, here we are!!!! I'll always reach for your hand, I'll always look for your smile, I'll always need to hear your voice that affirms me so beautifully!!!

I love you, honey, and I love this crazy, wonderful life we're experiencing, together!!!!!!
