48 years ago, we jumped in your car, grabbed a couple of friends and got married in Silver Springs, FL. We have had a wonderful, long ride in this adventure we call life and I wouldn’t trade a single minute of it. Today we face one of our biggest challenges as we see your oncologist for the first time. Our journey hasn’t always been easy. Through the years, there have been ups and downs, good times and bad times, laughter and tears. We have watched our son grow up into a well-adjusted loving adult. We have traveled to many places, near and far. We have met wonderful people and made lifelong friendships. We have shared triumphs and tragedies, births and deaths, happiness and sadness. We have tickled each other until happy tears have flowed and held each other when the sad tears have flowed. Thom Dandridge, you are my rock, my anchor, my soulmate, my warrior, my lover, my best friend. I love you more today than the day we met and look forward to holding your hand and keeping you close for the rest of the time we have here on earth together. You are my everything and my life would be incomplete without you in it. Happy Anniversary to us.
