You're My Best Friend

Thirty years ago today, I married my best friend.

Where did 30 years go? Gosh, where did those two fresh-faced youngsters go?

I guess they were left behind in three decades of working together, a quarter century of parenting together and the ups and downs that life brings.

But through it all, older and wiser, he's still my best friend, and I probably love him more than I did 30 years ago.

I still believe everything I wrote last year on this special day. I am thankful every single day for him (even if he irritates me on occasion. Of course, I never irritate him. Who, me?)

Our kids (read Jill) surprised us with a card shower to celebrate our 30th. After being gone a couple of days, it was great fun yesterday to find the mailbox stuffed with cards and greetings.

And just like it used to be Casey Kasem's radio show, here's a little number I'd like to dedicate to my best friend and my love. Happy Anniversary, Randy!
