On this date fifteen years ago, Carlene K Olsen-Paul and I exchanged vows to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part. Little did we know that the latter would come much too soon.
She captured my heart with the first look into her eyes and from that moment I knew that I was peering into the soul of the woman who would become the love of my life. The Lord gave us almost 20years together, 14 and one-half of those as husband and wife. They weren’t all easy, but I would give anything to have even the worst day back again just to hold her in my arms once again.
Although death has temporarily separated us Carlene, you are my soul mate and I know that when my maker calls me home, you will be waiting to welcome me and we will once again be reunited, but this time for eternity. Till then, “Have I told you how much I love you lately, to the moon and back again my angel.
