John - My Kindred Spirit (A True Story)



True Story! About 17-1/2 years ago, John received a cute card in the mail. Thinking it was from me (whom he had not seen in 2 years) he sent me a cute romantic card back. Wow! I called and thanked him and he invited me over and the rest is HISTORY. Here we are 17 years later, celebrating our 17th wedding anniversary today. The ironic thing about this......is that I never sent the card to him in the first place. I truly believe it came from an Angel...who knew we were meant to be kindred spirits and share our lives. I love him so much and am thankful for the time I have been blessed to be with him as his wife. He is caring, loving, giving, a wonderful husband, father and grandfather. John...thank you for letting me be a part of your life!!!!!!!!

Ginger what a very sweet story and it brought tears to my eyes. I am so glad that you have been so happy and I remember that story and I do believe that an Angel had a big part in you two being together. Love you both so much and hope your day is special and you have many more together as husband and wife...Vickie

"HAPPY ANNIVERSARY" Ginger and John. You two really are kindred spirts! I can't be funny on this one, (I did that on Vickie's Blog). The love you two show is admirable, not only to each other but to all those around you. Ginger - Lindsay loves the times you two have together on your "Girls Day Out." And John - thank you so much for the love and compassion you showed to our Dad while caring for him during his last weeks. We both love you and wish you a very happy "17th Anniversary"
Love, Bob & Lindsay

I love the story of you and John and remember it all. You two were meant to be together and Happy Belated Anniversary. 17 years - that's hard to believe. Before you know it, it will be another 17 years. Love you both and wish we could have been there to celebrate with you two. We owe you a dinner of celebration. Love you, Dottie

Happy Anniversary Aunt Ginger and Uncle John. You two are an amazing couple, and I thank God that he answered Aunt Ginger's prayers. I remember as a kid when Ginger always gave of herself to make for her children a special home. Ginger you, like my own mother, always gave sacrificially for other's...I am so glad that God gave you a gift in John. What a joy to walk together for the rest of your lives. We love you both!
