My beloved Kathilynn,
It’s been twenty years now since God had mercy on me and showed me how much I was loved, forever changing the path I would walk the rest of my days. I still remember the moment my eyes rested upon you. That first smile that still makes my heart race. The amazing smile that makes the butterflies stir.
I still have a crush on you.
Thank you for being the love of my life.
Twenty years has taught me something about us: I have always known you. I have always loved you. My heart was reaching out, calling out to you until your heart heard the cry and echoed back. It’s so easy to love you, Kathilynn. To adore you. It’s as natural as the beat of my heart.
You are an inspiration and example of what’s best in life and humanity, and when I look at our amazing children my heart cries to the heavens in gratitude for the incredible companion I have, because my love, the best in them is the best from you.
Your laugh brightens my soul, your smile brightens my world and when you look at me, I know I am loved. I can feel it and it always amazes me how you can do that without saying a word. What we have is rare, admired and envied by many because it is based on a foundation stronger than either of us.
I look forward to the next twenty years together, growing old together and to build our dreams together. I know we can do it, because you are my personal confirmation that dreams do come true.
You are my love, my inspiration and my best friend.
Thank you for simply being you.
I love you always and forever,
Your Jester.

Wow. What a beautiful woman.
Gets me every time.
aaaaawwwwwww How sweet is that! Yep, it’s that something again.
Yeah, well, I am thoroughly embarrassed that you chose to voice this in such a public manner. But I guess this isn’t too far removed from all the talking you do to every one you see in a day anyway, huh? and I am just now replying out of …… obligation. Since I’ve been responding to most of your other posts I couldn’t not respond to this one – especially this one – could I?
I especially love the part where you comment on your own post, though. You know your not so bad looking yourself. Love the hair.
Obligation?
Don’t ever feel obligated my dear. I did this before I handed you the laptop, so I’m just being consistent.
Yes, I brag and tell people I kiss the water you walk on. Have to tell the truth.
I’m grateful for all things in my life, good and bad…but I want to giggle and share the good.
That would be you.
So sweet! I happened upon this blog through kind of a weird Facebook trail (you know, a friend of a friend of a friend…), and I have never heard such eloquence! I’m delighted to hear that the two of you still share something so special and strong after so many years! I salute you both!
Much love,
Jen
Thank you Jen,
Yes, I still adore this wonderful girl as much as when we first met, and then some.
Strange how it’s been so long now, 21(?) years since I met the two of you…my mind keeps telling me it was just last January.
…then I get a look in the mirror and have to sigh. Well, that and all these strange kids running around, hehe.
I seem to be able to look at everyone else through eyes locked in 1989 except myself!
The key here Jen is to you marry a best friend. I was blessed to be paired with a girl that is SO easy to love, adore and admire. Well, you know how great she is–you were best friends up to the point of me stealing her away.
All else is uphill from there.
Great to hear from you!
