The C Word - Another Birthday

Happy Birthday, George!  

Today you are 66 years old – and officially on Social Security!  Back in 2014 we were not sure you would make it to this day… but you did.  Through tenacity and sheer will power, you have fought hard to get to this point.

You and I have been together for 28% of your life…. Wow, right?  What does that feel like to know that you’ve spent 28% of your life living with love such as ours?  We may have met in our mid-life span – but we have managed to make it a good long while!

While this is not what you expected in your retirement (both after stopping work and now at official social security age), we have to appreciate the things that we have managed to do up until 2014. 

Two trips to Hawaii
Vancouver and Victoria, BC
Banff/Lake Louise/Jasper, Canada
Grand Canyon
New York/Cruise up to Canada
Alaskan Cruise
Washington, DC
Branson, MO
Of course, our honeymoon to FL and then up the coast to PA
Several trips to Connecticut
Oregon coast
“Local” trips:  Hearst Castle, Half Moon Bay, SF, Solvang, Palm Springs, San Diego

I’m sure I’m missing a few, but at our age, who can remember everything?? 

We can visit these places in our mind and through photographs and relive some of those wonderful moments, some of the exquisite scenery, some of the touching moments.  I hope when you sit in your chair you think back on some of those and remember…. For that’s all we have right now is our memories.  I’ll cherish them forever – just as I’ll cherish you forever!

Happy Birthday, sweetheart!

Love,

Your Angelface
