19

Nineteen years ago, in front of family, friends, and a heavily perspiring Father Kelley, Herself and her Beloved exchanged vows and became husband and wife. 

Herself was asked last night, "What's the secret?"  

Herself tells me that the secret to a long-term marriage is in two vital phrases:

"Thank you."
"I'm sorry."

These words encompass a wealth of necessities:  gratitude, caring, humbleness, service, forgiveness, appreciation.  Together with a large measure of patience, they can help to surmount almost any challenge.

These words have served Herself well for nineteen years.  I know they will serve well for many more.
