Happy Anniversary!

Today is our anniversary. 16 years married, 18 together. Kurt and I met at a bar called the "Electric Banana". He was a drummer in a band and my friend Mick hounded me to come out to see them. Begrudgingly I went and when I walked in I am telling you my eyes went right to Kurt. I thought, in my low self-esteem way, he probably won't be interested. We were introduced and and hung out the rest of the night. Our first date was to see The Beatles "Yellow Submarine" where they play movies outside. Afterwards we talked for hours.

About a week or 2 after we met Kurt was coming over to my apartment. As I was waiting I fell asleep on the couch.

The phone rang:

Woman  "Do you know someone named Kurt"

Me   "Yes"

Woman "He's just been hit by a truck up the street" 

WHAT!

I ran up the street wondering if I was dreaming until I saw ambulance lights flashing.

There was Kurt in a fog, sitting at the bus stop with people around him. He had gotten off the bus and crossed in front of it and got hit by a pick-up truck.

We went to the hospital in an ambulance where he found out he had a broken leg and some nice abrasions and a good size bump on his head.

We hadn't known each other very long but from that moment on we were together.

Kurt is funny, sensitive (I think 9 sisters helped with that), an incredible artist, funny, a great dad, funny and so much more.

After 4 moves, 2 kids, deaths of parent, no money and many, many other fabulous and not so fabulous events I can't imagine going through my life with anyone else.

I joke with him that he can't even think of leaving me until our kids are out of the house.

Well I'm not going anywhere either.

I love you honey

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!
