Wow... today I celebrated 18 years with my partner. We have accomplished a lot and have grown so much. We have two beautiful sons and feel very blessed. People ask me.... how do you stay with one person for so long? My answer, may not be for all, but its my answer: Love, Patient, Kindness, Forgiveness, Allowance, Empowerment, and the most importantly.... COMMUNICATION. Relationships is work and as long as both of you are working at it, then it will work, if one gives up,then it is broken. I am the luckiest person. I love you, honey thank you for your love.
