One week before Thanksgiving, Spencer Garrett sent me a page. I called back and said yes to having a "date." Thanksgiving Day, my mother, Gail comes out of no where with a broom and threatens him that he better take care of me....with my Aunt Annie and Aunt Raetta, they threaten him and tell him that he better treat me good.
I go to his car, he opens the door for me like a gentleman and in return I lean over and unlock his door (Bronx Tale). This is a moment of truth for My Man.
On January 18th I give birth to a son who is his father's twin. I had made up my mind...I did not want to marry just because it was the "right thing to do," I wanted to marry when I knew in my heart he loved me for me and nothing else. On January 18,1997 we both blurt out, "let's get married." I knew it was real!
On April 18, 1997, I married my Knight and Shining Armor! The man that protected me and would do anything and everything for me! I married the man that proved he loved me for me, loved me for the person I was and NOT for the person others wanted me to be. I married Spencer Garrett. He has sacrificed and done nothing but love ME. He has completed my circle of success, my circle of endless love of self. He has helped me grow as a wife, a mother, as a person.
I am so lucky to have found love. I am so lucky my children have a father that is strong, confident and loves me and them for who they are and for who I am. I am lucky I have found someone to help complete me and will stick by me no matter how many times I may fall. He is the one that demands I get up and fight the demons that sometimes haunt me. He is the one I cry to, laugh with and go to to when I need to just feel loved. He is the one and I AM SO BLESSED! I love you. This is the first 15 years, but despite not wanting to get old, you are stuck with me for the rest of our time on Earth! Not because we have to be, but because we want to be! I love you for giving me a reason to go on when I thought I did not want to! I love you for fighting for me, when I had no more fight in me! I love you for loving me with all my imperfections! I love you for being my Knight and Shining! I love you for being a true man that understands priorities and knows your family is your priority!
Thank you for sharing your life with me and being there as a husband and father! I LOVE YOU BIG PAPA, CHOCOLATE THUNDER! I LOVE YOU SPENCER R. GARRETT!!
