Today is our 16th wedding anniversary and tomorrow, the 19th anniversary of our first meeting. Red roses awaited me this morning when I woke up and after gushing over them, I asked my spouse, “Out of all the girls milling around you 19 years ago, what made you pick me?” He replied, “You were the nicest person I’d ever met.” Wow, talk about setting the bar high. Anyway, so it got me to thinking about my behavior and I just want to say this. If I have offended or disrespected you, if I have hovered and smothered you (you kids know I’m talking to you), if I have interrupted you or tried to control you or boss you around (oh, yes, I know I have!) or in ANY way at all hurt your feelings, please allow me to apologize. I am sincerely and genuinely sorry for the times I was not nice to you. I hope you can forgive me and absolve me of those times. I want to be as nice as my husband believes I am and I promise I will continue to strive for that high standard.
