Jeff has been my knight in shining armor.  He rescued me from myself.  I was a wimp of sorts, letting most people take advantage of me.  Jeff taught me to stand up for myself and gave me more confidence in myself than I have ever had.  He has treated me like a lady from the first day we met.  He has spoiled me rotten.  Jeff is completely unselfish where I am concerned, always putting me first.  He makes me feel safe and secure, and he supports me, even if I am wrong.  He is very protective of me, and can be somewhat overprotective at times, but I love him for it.

Jeff has never been one to show emotion, but I know his love for me runs deep.  He proved that from his
tribute to me. Jeff has a wonderful sense of humor, and his spontaneous comebacks are hilarious at times.  Jeff is full of surprises.  Just when I think I have him figured out, he throws me a curve, as he demonstrated by sending me the roses on our "first date in 22 years".  Jeff has a phenomenal memory.  I can just mention that I like something or would like to have something, and if it is within reason financially, I will most likely get it for my next birthday or Christmas present, and most of the time I will have completely forgotten about it by then.

Jeff is not afraid to stand up for what he believes in, and is very loyal to those who treat him with respect and friendship.  I have never, in all our years of marriage, ever worried about Jeff coming home to me.  He has never given me any reason to doubt his fidelity.

As Jeff stated about me, I echo his sentiments:  He is also, my friend, my confidant, my lover, my husband, my advisor and mentor.  If God grants us 2-1/2 more years together,  we will have a renewal of marriage vows ceremony on our 25th wedding anniversary, which will be around May 6, 2004. 

Thank you sweetheart for loving me so much.  We make a great team. 

I LOVE YOU MORE!!!!!
After my husband wrote the beautiful tribute to me, I felt it only fair and honorable to do the same for him.  Jeff and I have been married for almost 23 years.  It was a second marriage for both of us.  Like a lot of marriages, after so many years, we felt ourselves drifting away from each other, taking each other for granted. 
On August 8, 2001, we renewed our love for each other, and began a whole new life together.  Here are my thoughts and feelings about why I love my husband:
A TRIBUTE TO JEFF
FROM
YOUR LOVING WIFE,
SHARON
