One of my favorite movies is “The
Princess Bride.” My husband Tim and my father took me to see it for my 22nd
birthday. Sorry, but you’ll have to
guess what year that was.
Anyway, do you remember the first scene where the grandfather
(Peter Falk) wants to read the book, “The Princess Bride,” to his little
grandson (Fred Savage?) The grandson
asks if it was a “kissing book” because he didn’t like “kissing books.” That is
Tim!!! I could see the same thing going
through his eyes every time I bugged (not nagged) him to take me to see the
movie. “But I don’t like kissing
movies!!!!”
Needless to say, Tim loved the
movie. It wasn’t what he thought it
would be. Why did he go? Because he loves me. To be honest, I don’t know why he loves me
like he does.
May 8th will be the 32nd anniversary of
our first date. So, I’m going to wish
Tim a happy first date anniversary now since our daughter Sara will be
graduating from college on May 10th. By the way, kissing movies are
good if you get kisses too.
Many waters cannot quench love;
rivers cannot wash it away. If one were to give all the wealth of his house for
love, it would be utterly scorned. Song of Solomon 8:7 (NIV)
