25 years~ A little diddy about Rick and Leane 2 american kids in the heartland

Hello today is the last day before my wife Leane and I celebrate 25 years of marriage. So Leane happy 1 day before our 25Th anniversary.

I want to let Leane know that I really love her very much and as a man I sometimes do not show it express, tell, say, I put my foot in my mouth allot. I love her, but do not be fooled the love I have for Leane is by far the most real thing I know in this world today.

In a world of so much much uncertainty that looks and faces us in the eyes every day, not knowing if we will wake up in the morning or make it back from work at night, or if a loved one will survive a terrible disease like Cancer or live another year because ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) has it's grips on them or you.

I can say that my Love for Leane is certain!! 

 I can say that when I wake up tomorrow with a smile on my face it's because she is laying next to me, my Love for Leane is certain!!

Leane and I were married at the age of 18 and 16 with a son that was 1 month old (Matthew James Borden) I went in the military at the age of 18 and joined the Army and jumped out of airplanes for the 82ND Airborne Division at Fort Bragg NC.

 A couple of times we were shipped off onto C 130's flying around for more than 9 hours with live rounds and were issued body bags not knowing where we were going?  You put on your game face you mentally get prepared for everything they have trained you for. You can taste the Adrenalin in the back of your throat. Looking at the faces of my fellow soldiers that I had trained with for so long, I wondered will we make it back? Will I see my children again? Will I have a chance to tell my wife I love her?  Will my Parachute open?  We were all thinking the same thing... But did they have true Love like I did? I hoped for them that they did. It kept me going strong.

But my Love for Leane was Certain and this is what gave me the inner strength, and courage to face whatever came to me and would allow me to lead my men into battle and get us home safe! That was 1983-1987. Today Leane still gives me the butterflies with her amazing strength and courage she has. Life does not always deal you a deck of cards you want to play. Leane is the one who Say's I'm all In!!

Today is the last day before we celebrate 25 years and I want to let you know that I am very excited about the next 25 years.

Leane you have been the rock of my life and may the sun shine on us forever. God Bless you Leane.
