Today is our anniversary...

Today is the anniversary of Perry and my first date. It was June 4, 1979. That seems so long ago. Perry has been very good to me. He has been a constant that has never changed. He has been the main father figure for my children and grandfather to our grandchildren. He has a gentle soul. He is the first man I ever knew that could so easily be moved to tears. I admit it used to be off putting but I've learned to see the realness of these tears. They are not a weakness but a great strength. He loves God and truely has the faith of a trusting child. While many people believe I oversee everything in this house, the real truth is that Perry is and has always been the royal priest of this home. He has a much calmer, quieter nature than me..which is a very good thing. I have never heard Perry pop off in anger. He carefully thinks out every situation.  I feel he greatly respects me. I appreciate this. My Aunt Bettie Ann told my Mom that the Lord had given me a man that was going to love me always and that love would show me how much HE loved me. When I first started dating Perry Mom was upset because he was an unbeliever...In prayer the Lord told her Perry was not an unbeliever, he just didn't know he was a believer yet. She said she felt peace after that. Mom once told me she didn't worry as much about my household because she knew Perry would always make sure we were taken care of. I think that is high praise from Mom. I love my husband very much.
