Half a Century

Baby Ronnie at 1 year old

The love of my life and my very best friend is 50 years old today. Ron is not one for big celebrations even for a milestone as big as this. The truth is he is not fond of celebrating his birthdays at all (except for the part with the cake!) He's not happy about getting older, but I keep reminding him that the best part of our lives is still ahead of us.

Is it any wonder that it was love at first sight for me?

As you can see, we started out much thinner and we both had more hair. We met 32 years ago and have been through our share of ups and downs, good and bad, even sickness and health. But here we are all these years later and I am thrilled to wish my wonderful husband a very happy 50th birthday! I look forward to each and every milestone that we will continue to share as the years go on....
