You know me. I usually don't put our personal life out on the internet. It's our private life and no one needs to know our business. But this time is different. I'm writing this letter to let you know. This love of ours just can't go. I never knew how happy I would be. Till you showed me how love can be...... Guess the song. 😉 Ok on a serious note: 19 years ago today, we got married by the justice of the peace in Yonkers. It was just an ordinary day. Nothing special. No … [Read more...]
