On September 15, 1985, I married the most complicated, beautiful, insightful, godly, challenging woman I’ve ever met. Oh, yeah, and she also happened to be my best friend. Years later, I wrote a 1950s-style throwback song about her (think Buddy Holly) with the opening line:
Trudy-blue, I love you, baby
and I hardly can believe it’s true
that after all these years you’re crazy
enough to say you love me too
It’s still true. Truer, in fact. Way truer.
Love you forever, Trudy-blue.

So sweet! Congratulations to both of you! 💞
Thank you, Michele!
What a lovely anniversary tribute! Here’s to the next 38 🥂
jill multiply 6 * 6
6*6=36 And your point is … ? You only expect them to have another 36 years together?
no it’s the 38 makes us want to type 36
Hmmmm … I hadn’t noticed!

In the early photos, Trudy has a look of Princess Diana – particularly in the black and white one. 🙂
