Ps 37:23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.
62 years ago today, Richard entered this world. From the pics, he was a handsome baby boy. I am so thankful to his parents for the good son they raised and to my Heavenly Father that they raised him in a Christian home for Richard is a man of integrity, love for his Savior, and maintains the goal of living his life for Christ.
Richard is my best friend, my love, the fabulous father of our children, and the fun grandpa of our grandchildren. He is my rock, my safe place, and loves me in spite of all my faults. I could wax on and on about my love for Richard and how blessed my life has been as his wife of 35 years, but I will just keep those thoughts tucked away in my heart to share with him and him alone sometime today.
Happy Birthday, Honey........... I love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
