Cue the Barry Manilow soundtrack...

Last week, as Omaha and I fought through our summer headcolds, dealt with Kouryou-chan's flu, and made the transition from school to summer, I saw once again the tough, beautiful woman I married hold it all together.

Today is our 17th anniversary. 17 years of holding it all together, and I still can't help but be in awe of how she does it. Without Omaha, my life would be a meaningless shambles, and I know it.

Birthday announcements are one thing, but anniversary announcements always feel a bit cheesy. I think-- I hope-- everyone knows just how much I love and adore Omaha. But at least once a year it's worth repeating.

17 years is a damn long time. Here's to another 17, and may they keep getting better.

Of course we all know how much you love her....and it is ALWAYS worth repeating.

Happy anniversary again.

I think you're both incredibly lucky and blessed by whichever god or goddess is responsible for smiling on couples.

Happy Anniversary!!!!

It's truly a good thing to see you two still together....thru the thick and the thin....it inspires so many of us....some of us are still looking for that perfect mate.

I don't think there is anything cheesy about a declaration of love--more people should do it!!!

You two are an inspiration and an example of true love. Thank You!!!!

Congrats!

And yes, you frequently make it clear how much you love and appreciate Omaha. I trust you make it clear to her as well. ;)
