When I retired almost three and a half years ago, I thought it would allow me more time to be with my wife, whether she liked that idea or not. Just to make sure, I didn't actually ask her since I have never dealt well with rejection.
Today is one of my most favorite days of the year for two reasons: another day above ground and, first and foremost, with the person who makes me want to try to be the best person I can be but who still loves me when, as is always the case, I fail.
Never mind the flowers, the chocolates, the incredibly clever pop-up cards that inflate into dirigibles flying over a fifty-piece marching band behind a float that says 'I Love You.'

| On our wedding day |
Today and every day we have remaining, "hold me close honey say you're forever mine And tell me you'll be my lonely valentine."
