Now and then I would think about the priest who married Gary and I. I used to think it would have been nice to see him again but I knew he had gone into the Navy. Still I would think about him especially on our anniversaries and as we would drive by the church where we were married.
Yesterday there was a sheet in our church bulletin that had the addresses of all the retired priests from our Archdiocese. I was so excited when I saw his name and address. Because of all the cards my friends and I make to give others and the cards I send to the local people in living centers/nursing homes, I started sending cards to the priests who have served our parish. I have now added a new address to my list.
I immediately sat down and typed out a letter to him to thank him for his service and to let him know that we were still married after 53+ years and feeling blessed to have the life we have. This is the card I sent him with the letter.
Thank you for stopping by today!

How fun that you found out he was still alive and well, and that you sent him a card and a very special letter! I'm sure he will be thrilled and touched to receive it.
