My 16 year old daughter wrote a letter to my husband and me in honor of our 20th wedding anniversary today. Here’s what it said:
It’s your 20th wedding anniversary! To help you celebrate 20 years in one day, I am enrolling you in my brand new 3R’s program (and I don’t mean reduce, reuse and recycle). The steps are: 1. Reminice 2. Replenish 3. Remap
For your first step, you are going to find some time to reflect on your 20 years of marriage! I have a list of 20 things for 20 years, but feel free to remember any memories you vowed never to lose.
1. Wedding day.
2. Your first big fight as newlyweds and how you resolved it.
3. The good old days before my older sister arrived.
4. The wild stunts you crazy kids pulled with no kids around.
5. The day, Dad, you found out that Mommy would soon blow up like a balloon.
6. Morning sickness.
7. Discovering together the new roller coaster of parenthood.
8. The day I was born (aka the happiest day of your life)
9. All the cute stuff I did.
10. Finally finding days to escape the crazy children once daughter number 3 arrived.
11. Encouraging each other through the perils of careers.
12. How you figured out which battles are worth fighting.
13. How much we embarrassed you in public places.
14. Your trip to Amsterdam and other vacations.
15. Big past anniversaries.
16. Your walk with God and how he used each of you to mature the other.
17. All your Christmas’s together
18. The worst anniversary gift you ever gave to one another.
19. Significant times of struggle
20. Succeeding for 20 years and counting with Him who strengthens you.
Very sweet and wise too.
You sent a note to me, mentioning I’m your one walking miracle friend. I have no desire or need for personal publicity, but believe I have a stewardship of sharing my story as appropriate. It seems many find it encouraging. People face situations that seem impossible, but out God is bigger than anything we face, including a massive brain injury, and dare I say death. It is harder for Cindy to share. She had the harder part of our experience by far. They didn’t give her narcotics that I got. So I don’t have painful memories. All this to say, if you’d like to use the story on air some time, I’m very open to that.
