It has been 12 years since I married my true love.  12 years.  12 years since we looked into one another’s eyes and proclaimed that we would be together Forever and always, always and ever.

It has been 12 years since you sang Jeff Buckley’s rendition on Corpus Christi Carol as I made my way down the aisle with my parents.  12 years since my bustle wouldn’t stay put and Chris had to restart our first dance.   12 years have passed since you dropped the crumb of cake down the front of my dress, and I retrieved it and fed it to you.

It has been 12 years since Michelle said to kiss and you took me in your arms as your wife and kissed me like a husband kisses his wife.

12 years.  12 amazing years.  In those 12 years we have managed to finish college, find a job, build or remodel three houses, we’ve made two of the most beautiful, bright babies this world has ever seen.  12 years, 12 of the best years.

Happy Anniversary, my true love, my Papa Bear.
