I thought I would enter at least a couple photos in this week's theme, but didn't have much time at all tonight to take photos. I quickly looked around the house and came up with this one to start. It was real handy too (pun intended). Anyway, this simple, yet complicated symbol of commitment has been worn on my left hand since April 19, 1980. To me it is more than just a yellow band that symbolizes marriage, it is a promise, a commitment to stay by the side of the one person in this world I can trust till my dying day. It's a commitment to invest in her tomorrow. It's an oath of love, a love that will not die, but rather a love that will continue to grow stronger with each passing day, in spite of adversity. It is an investment, and an investment that will not go wrong as long as I continue to be an active contributor.
You've got to show your wife this photo and your comment . . it's such a beautiful letter of the commitment of your love for her. Very special. But then, you probably have already shown it to her. :)
Aw, that's so nice (: Did you show her this photo? I'll bet she gives you a big hug. My husband and I are going on 20 years now and it's gone by in a blink.
Been floatin round in here a few days now...... Really like ur Pics..... your comments and inspiration given freely...... Really Great friend talked me into this..... Hope I can stay with it........ TY
Great words of an honest man, Rick. Your wife should be proud of you. There is no date engraved in my yellow ring but, thank God, it has been on my left-hand finger since 1971 and that is the last thing I will allow to be taken off me. Fantastic capture too.
Your wife is a very lucky woman!! Hope fully most married men feel as you do in their hearts but you won't get many to actually say the words ( which is all we women want !!) Men take note !!!!
PS I copied your words and sent them to my husband of how I feel about our marriage - I, of course, told him the words were written by a remarkable man on 365. Thanks
@digitalrn He became emotional as he is a very soft hearted man. I told him that this was how I felt and that it was a great reminder for me always contribute a little more. Your words touched us both and again, I thank you for giving me an opportunity to share some more love via your words to my man who is on travel at the moment.
Wow....great sentiments, esp. about staying an active contributor....that is one we forget at times. I do, anyway. This is a hard shot to set up and have it look good, but this is great! Love how you got the focus on the date!
I already know this is going to be my favorite yellow theme photo this week, Rick! Wow, you brought tears to my eyes with your beautiful words. My husband and I will celebrate our 20th anniversary in July and I feel exactly the same way about him that you feel about your wife. There is nothing better in the world than growing closer and closer to your spouse over the years. Give a hug to your wife from me, and I'm going off to send my sweetie an email telling him how much I love and appreciate him too right now. (BTW - your pun made me laugh! And your focus is brilliant on this photo.)
