I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenck's lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirl under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

Our 6 Year


Anthony,

After all these years I love you still.

I believe I love you more.

I have come to depend on you

and do not believe I could survive without you.

You are the one person I turn to

when I don't know what I'm doing.

I rely on you to open jars,

fix the washer,

clean the dryer,

mow the lawn,

wash the car,

fix the car,

scrub the bathroom,

scrub the toilet,

vacuum the yucky stuff that's always in the couch,

get the mail,

scratch my back,

talk with the kids when I've had enough,

play with the kids,

love the kids

and most of all...

to love me,

even when I don't deserve it.

I know that you'll always be there for us.

You are the only constant in my life.

I love you.

I hope that you always know that.

Never doubt that.

~Chelsey
