Robert "Neal" Ingram

When a man loves a woman,Can't keep his mind on nothing else.He'll trade the worldFor the good thing he found.If she's bad, he can't see it.She can do no wrong.Turn his back on his best friendIf he put her down.Neal,My dream of a husband came true. Regardless that it took 33 years before we would decide that we are meant to be together. Regardless that our religious beliefs are different. You supported me in all my church functions. Honey you accepted me and I know without a doubt you loved me as God loved the Church, as Salomon loved the Queen of Sheba, as Hosea loved Gomer (meaning although Gomer would break Hosea's heart). I know you loved me without hesitation, regardless of my faults. For this reasons and other good qualities that you possess, being my childhood love, later your woman and wife, I tried hard to love and care for you in many, many ways to make up for my faults, gladly show you how much I supported you. The wedding vows quote for better or worse. There has been "No" worse as far as I'm concerned even in illness. I love you more and more. I love you, my children and grandchildren more than myself. My delight was to keep you happy and healthy.In 1965 we were both 15 when we first met. The first time you spoke to me and wanted to walk to school, I longed to be your girl. My hearts desire was to be special and unique in your life. I could not believe you could love a big-boned, awkward, shy girl like me. You kept trying to talk to me over and over. I am sorry if I took your relation, my relations, our neighbors and 33 years for me to believe you. I am glad we did not wait too late.I love you, my love, and my darling.Eternally Yours, Yvonne
