17 years married
22 years together in all
(Wow, these words ring truer today than I could have ever imagined at the time of our first dance as husband and wife)
"I Will Be Here"
Tomorrow morning if you wake up
And the sun does not appear
I... I will be here
If in the dark we lose sight of love
Hold my hand and have no fear
'Cause I... I will be here
I will be here
When you feel like being quiet
When you need to speak your mind
I will listen
And I will be here
When the laughter turns to crying
Through the winning, losing and trying
We'll be together
'Cause I will be here
Tomorrow morning if you wake up
And the future is unclear
I... I will be here
As sure as seasons are made for change
Our lifetimes are made for years
So I... I will be here
I will be here
And you can cry on my shoulder
When the mirror tells us we're older
I will hold you
And I will be here
To watch you grow in beauty
And tell you all the things you are to me
I will be here, hmmm
I will be true to the promise I have made
To you and to the One who gave you to me
And just as sure as seasons are made for change
Our lifetimes are made for years
So I... I will be here
We'll be together
I will be here
And the sun does not appear
I... I will be here
If in the dark we lose sight of love
Hold my hand and have no fear
'Cause I... I will be here
I will be here
When you feel like being quiet
When you need to speak your mind
I will listen
And I will be here
When the laughter turns to crying
Through the winning, losing and trying
We'll be together
'Cause I will be here
Tomorrow morning if you wake up
And the future is unclear
I... I will be here
As sure as seasons are made for change
Our lifetimes are made for years
So I... I will be here
I will be here
And you can cry on my shoulder
When the mirror tells us we're older
I will hold you
And I will be here
To watch you grow in beauty
And tell you all the things you are to me
I will be here, hmmm
I will be true to the promise I have made
To you and to the One who gave you to me
And just as sure as seasons are made for change
Our lifetimes are made for years
So I... I will be here
We'll be together
I will be here
Jeremy, We have officially been together, longer than we have been apart. We passed the half way mark in our lives. I love you more today, than I EVER thought possible.....and I was pretty head over heals on our wedding day and I love you more and more each day, as we bond closer and closer with each passing minute and I don't want to waste even one of those precious minutes with anger or frustration. I know that it is quite impossible to never disagree, but wouldn't that be awesome if we never did?!?! I again, promise from the bottom of my heart, to love you forever and I promise that you will never be alone (remember when that priest said that when we heard him speak at that retreat? Remember how powerful his words were?)...no matter what our future has in store. Jesus has blessed us with struggles that have strengthened us tremendously. For that, I am truly thankful.
Like I always say...I am the Kerry...of "Jeremy and Kerry" I am one of the team members.....did you see that my NAME is in our title!!! I couldn't even imagine not experiencing life with you. Sometimes I get a prickly ache in my heart, at the sheer thought of something happening to you and having to face ONE day without you. We are blessed to have the same goal in life.....grow in holiness, raise our kids in holiness and one day, thanks to our Merciful Lord Jesus, enjoy Heaven together for all of eternity.
We now finally know what it means to truly commit our lives to each other. You are my true best friend...you know me inside and out, and for some reason (by the Grace of Jesus) you keep me around, loving me in spite of all of my flaws
I love you Jeremy and I love our Lord for blessing me with you
Happy Anniversary
