Happy Birthday to My Soulmate

Happy Birthday to My Soulmate

 

My wonderful husband, Larry, has a birthday today!!! 

 

Over 46 years ago I met this brilliant Renaissance man. Every day, I thank my lucky stars for the day we sat by our apartment pool and he beat me in several games of backgammon. 

 



He may not have been who I’d ever imagined I’d end up with but he’s the person I needed and whom I was meant to be with.

 

He can do just about anything including being a Fighter Pilot in the USAF, going on a 10-day wilderness expedition in the Everglades, sewing his own lightweight tent, and making the best rolls and bread I’ve ever tasted.

Had we not met, I never would have moved to FL, gone hunting and camping, learned to drive a boat, and caught all manner of fish!  

 

I cannot think of anyone I would rather spend
my days with than Larry. 

 

Happy Birthday to my good friend, my soulmate,

and my gift from Heaven.

Our soulmate is the one who makes life come to life.

Good morning Kathy. Richard Bach nailed it and with Larry you have lived it. We must quit drinking at different bars together since JoAnn is my soulmate and we will be married 46 years in March. Oddly similar. Enjoy your day.
