Ducks Mahal

On this day, in that boundary year closing the 20^th century and opening the 21^st, on that setting down, I reached into a bag of dreams, a broken man, a tired man, a lonely man, I gave my life into God’s hands.  I prayed God would give me a companion, an Eve to help me live again.  He gave me you.  It was exactly what I needed and more so today.

I love you honey.

Happy Anniversary.

In that year Don Henley released a hymn for our marriage, words I never forgot.  For My Wedding:

“For my wedding, I will dress in black
And never again will I look back
Ah, my dark angels we must part
For I’ve made a sanctuary of my heart

To want what I have
To take what I’m given with grace
For this I pray
On my wedding day…

…So what makes us any different from all the others
Who have tried and failed before us
Maybe nothing, maybe nothing at all
But I pray we’re the lucky ones; I pray we never fall

To want what we have
To take what we’re given with grace
For these things I pray
On my wedding day”
