THE BEST IS YET TO BE

1976

Thirty-six years ago on a beautiful spring morning,
 I married my best friend 
in The House of the Lord. 

I gave him a ring engraved with this poem, 


Grow old along with me!
The best is yet to be,
The last of life, for which the first was made:
Our times are in His hand
Who saith "A whole I planned,
Youth shows but half; trust God: see all, nor be afraid!"

--Robert Browning


Somehow, the years have flown, 
we've been blessed with bounteous gifts - 
a beautiful family - 
home -
 wonderful opportunities and friends.
  Life has been sweet and I know 
"the best is yet to be."
Happy Anniversary D.B.  
You have made all my dreams come true.

The birthday cake was a work of art.  It was an amazing party - a gift of the heart from a loving mother to her sweet little princess.
