He had a good heart and we had so many good times.
I still miss my guy.

Congratulations on your 25 years of marriage and may your see another 25, and then another!

I remember people commenting to us as well that they thought it was amazing/wonderful/incredible, etc. that we had been married so long.
It wasn't so amazing/wonderful/incredible to us because we couldn't imagine any other life.
