Husband

“Hey Cheri, is that Randy’s ring your wearing?” “Yes it is!”

Give me my Romeo; and when he shall die, take him and cut him out in little stars, and he will make the face of heaven so fine that all the world will be in love with night and pay no worship to the garish sun.  "Juliet"

This is the gospel truth. The first time I saw his face, he was getting on the school bus. I got dizzy, my heart started pounding, and I had goose bumps. I thought, “what’s wrong with me”? This is so weird, and then I shrugged it off. Little did I know I would marry him 2 years later. That was 40 years, 2 months, and 4 days ago, we have what cannot be expressed with mere words. The term soul-mate, is an understatement.

We were engaged, and I loved him. His parents invited me to the family cabin close to Yosemite. The beauty of that place is heaven on earth! I slept in the bedroom closest to the kitchen. I could smell Grandpa's bacon cooking when Randy knocked on the door. He came over to the bed and gave me a morning kiss. He was dressed in a brown plaid flannel shirt, 501 levis, hunting boots. He was unshaven and his thick blond hair was tossed all over his head. He was the  most handsome perfect man, I had ever laid my eyes on. I had always seen him in his French cuffed shirts, slacks, well groomed hair and face. He looked great, but I really nearly died when I saw this new side of him. All scruffy and manly. He’s still tall and slim and even better with time. He is even more beautiful on the inside, if that is possible, than on the outside. God could not have given me a more perfect gift than my man Randy.

Ruth 1:16 Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God: Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me.
