To My Special Valentine  .
It was only 29 years ago that I gazed across the table at you at that Valentine's Banquet You were my Valentine then Even though you didn't know it And you still are! Thank you for being my special valentine all these years! Thank you for helping make me the person I am today! Thank you for believing in me Even when I didn't believe in myself. Thank you for sticking by me Through the good and the bad; For your steady committment To our marriage-- To our lives together; For encouraging me to reach for the impossible. Thank you for loving me For being my best friend For all the times you knew just what to say Thank you for your understanding Your gentleness Your sensitivity ...And for all those great hugs. Thank you for being such a great "Daddy" and Papa for all te fun we have together at the zoo, aquarium, or parks for all the weekends you have given us even if you should have been doing something else For enjoying "Veggi Tales" and singing silly songs with us For giving of yourself so freely so that you can leave your imprint on all our lives And thank you for your steady, deep faith in God No matter what comes our way For being there in the middle of the night to remind me that God loves me and accepts me as I am For helping me see God through your eyes And thereby having a richer understanding-- a bigger picture of who He is and how big He is We've truly walked together through many things that have brought about changes in our life... raising our kids and watching them become beautiful adults (the "almost" empty-nest syndrome) being involved in our grand-kids' lives tremendous spiritual growth changes in ministry lots of necessary personal growth and our journey toward intimacy in our relationship-- which will probably never end. Thank you!! I Love You,
Tim
