Our Life Our Love
Hello My Love; I am so thankful that Our Lord chose you to be my wife and for me to be your husband. We talked about this early in our marriage. And we knew this was done before we was born. Our togetherness came from heaven, and I can't thank God enough. We serve an awesome God, Amen. What came with the marriage is all of your family, and all of my family. I'll always love Neal and Dilcia Perkins, and all your sisters and brothers. As you loved mama and mother, and all of your sister and brother in laws to the end, and even in heaven. Baby Love you are not with me physically, but you'll always be with me in the spirit of the Lord. Not one day pass without you on my mind and in my heart. I'm crying right now sweetheart, but I'm going to be okay. I love you so much, and you're loving me. that I know. God has blessed us with two wonderful children. I remember as they was becoming young adults, we told them we want grandkids. Well Heleva answered with three girls and Jamal with three boys and one girl. Hey they came through by the grace of God. Jamal and Heleva resemble you Gee in so many ways, and I am so thankful to call them my children. Baby the grand children are growing so fast, and all seven are beautiful. They keep me going. Kiauna is in her second year in the army, and now she's working at StarBucks. The other six are growing like trees, and getting tall, expecially Jaedon and Ebony. All of them are doing good in school, and I know the parents is pleased with that. Sugar pudding, next month will be eleven years for me working at Crane World Wide. I recall in 2008 when I informed you that this will be the last company I'll work for. God gets the glory, for it is the Lord that's ordering my steps. I will be lost without Him, amen. Not only at the work place but my entire life since I've been on this earth. I'm planning to resign at the end of next year. It's time for me to relax some and enjoy the time I have remaining Gee. I'll draw my social security and get Amazing Plants and Silk Trees going again. You know that's somthing I enjoy doing. I thank God for the love He has given me, and I love so many. Our family is large and I love them all. That includes nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, uncle, daughter in law, son in law, brother in law, sister in law, all of my sisters and brothers. Not only do I love them all, I pray for all of these and many more. Everyone needs prayer. The world is wicked, but we are Gods children and He will keep the danger away from us. For Our Lord Jesus is our protecter, The Way The Truth and The Light. amen Thank You Jesus. I miss you Gloria Yvonne Rylander, but I have to stay strong baby and continue to keep moving for the Lord as He gives me strength from day to day. Love Always and a Day Glo
