Some of you wont read all of this, but I want to tell you men out there who might read this, Be a man God wants, a man that loves his wife, like Christ loves His Church; 50 years and two months ago, I had no idea I had just met the Most Beautiful young lady that I was going to spend the rest of my life with. Yes it is true that there is truth to the saying; Love at first sight...It was a hot July Sunday afternoon and I and my little brother were out cruising in my 58 chevy convertable. We some how ended up in Westminster, not sure how; as we lived in Englewood. I remembered that a coworker of mine who we shared the same machine at work, lived in Westminster. She had mentioned to me a few months before that if I was ever in the area to stop by & she would like me to meet her daughter. Id been putting it off for sometime now and thought; hey here Iam in her neighborhood, why not call see if they are home? Stopped after finding a pay phone on the corner and called Colleen: (My future Mother in law) Awesome lady with a very funny sense of humor, I already loved her, I guess thats what caught my curiosity. So she invited me to stop by and so it began; I Walked in and there sat two young ladies and one caught my eyes immediatly. She had long jet black hair and her features caught me finding myself staring for a moment. Her (Brenda) had such black hair that it would have a blue tint in the sunlight...(Beautiful) The pink frosted lipstick just knocked me out. As we began to talk I noticed her smile, it drew me even more to her. The main feature that was to seal the deal for me; was that she was somewhat bashful and very quiet. Well after leaving and going straight home I just had to figure a way to see her again. I believe I called and asked Brenda to go out to see a movie this next weekend. So we did and from then on we were together every evening until the day we married. For those of you who are sick of reading this romantic HOT meeting, Ill just fill you in. It was not love at first sight for Brenda Well 1 year and 2 months after we meant, yes we were married, I was 19 & Brenda was 18. Who says you were to young, might believe that, but we beat the odds. If you knew my wifes background & mine especially; odds where it will never last. Im here to tell you that 49 years later, she is more Beautiful to me and I still see that young lady 49 years ago, is still here in her face and eyes and I have grown to love my wife, more each day of my life. Yes there are a few gray hairs sneaking in to all that black hair, (I most likely could take the blame for that). But I really could have never imagined how much more Beautiful my wife was inside. It has not always been a bed of roses, I had many many faults to numerous to mention, there were times we could have tossed in the towel. But we stuck together, we took the bad with the good and made the bad good. My wife is one of the most loving and caring people, you could ever meet. People may think shes not friendly? Wrong !! she still has that backward way, I Love it! Well Honey you have always sacrificed for our boys and for me, you have always been the one I knew I could count on. You have never said unkind words to me except when I caused it and deserved it. You are the best Mother, Daughter, Sister-in-law, Sister, Aunt, Friend to your friends, and most of all the Spouse of the Century. Your the woman that Proverbs 31:10-23, speaks about, your the one who made me the man Iam-the good things-OK? I always tell you after you have told me that you love me, I reply; I love you more Thats because I do. You are the Gift God gave me to walk this Earth with, even when we were young God had already planned our life. I never have nor could I ever love any other woman the way I Love You, I know I didnt say all the right things and I will think of other things I wish I would have told the world, But All I know is your the perfect one for me and always will be. 49 years today we have been married....Saturday 6PM, September 18, 1965.....I wish I knew where the years have gone and I wish I had made our lives perfect all these years, but what really matters is that we have Eternity together, so God The Father, Jesus The Son, and the Holy Spirit have a plan for us better than we ever had here. Thanks Honey for all that you have done for me and for our Sons, and for a marriage I know we would both do again if we had too....Gods Blessed us way more than we could ever deserve.....Thanks Lord for our Boys and Shelley & Julie, GrandChildren, and Great Grandchildren....Our Friends, and those you personally placed in our lives during this journey on Earth. Thats why He is God. Honey I Love You More, and for Eternity & Forever....Happy, Happy, Happy, Anniversary Honey, I Love You More! Budd
