Twenty six years ago today.
Our eyes met across a crowded room. Literally. We spent that evening together. Three days later I moved my stuff in.
Twenty six years later and we are still together and we have had more than our fair share of tribulation. No support. Just us and our determination. We won and continue to do so each day.
We know what love is. Others are not so fortunate.
Hopefully we'll get another 26 years.
I'm not willing to let this go...

Now that's what I call committment. You and John are very lucky to have what most people never find in a lifetime of looking. Congratulations!
Happy anniversary to the two of you, Colin! Here's to many more.
The socks are lovely. Glad you didn't end up having to work with miles and miles of black.
Micah looks simply gorgeous in those pre-show pictures. Keep us posted on the dates for Crufts. Animal Planet does run that one in the US, so I might actually get to see you on the telly!

I like his socks a lot! my kind of conservative style. Mazel on the
anniversary. We’re a few years behind you :-)
Congratulations! In this day and age it's so wonderful to hear of couples who are truly committed to their relationship. I wish you both many more amazing years together!

Congratulations to you and John. Best wishes for another 26 years together.
Your socks are beautiful. I especially like the blue one, that being my favorite color.
I hope you can get some relief from your pain with the steroids.
Best wishes

triumph of love. Happy Anniversary to you and John.

Happy Anniversary with many many more to come.
Congratulations, Colin, on your 26th anniversary! As they playwright said, man is meant to go through life two by two. I know how important it is to share the joys and the pains with another person!
I like the sock color, too, btw!
Happy Anniversary! You 2 make a wonderful couple and I'll be sure to have a cocktail to cheer you on for many many more celebrations of togetherness :)

Congratulation Colin and John on 27 years, several of them wonderful.
LOL

Happy anniversary!! /Lovisa
Congratulations on your anniversary..Its so hard for relationships this day and age to last more than 5 or 10 years....Your socks, pup, and sweaters are all lovely....Always enjoy visiting your blog...Always something beautiful to see....
Happy Anniversary! May the next 26 be even better.
Congratulations to both of you. So many fail to understand the hard work and commitment that goes into making a relationship work. And that is assuming the support and backing of family, friends, community, and society at large.
The two of you are truly remarkable, and stand as an example from whom any couple can learn a great deal.
May you have at least another 26 years together!
And the socks--both pair--are beautiful. I continue to stand in awe of your knitting!

Hugs,

The socks are gorgeous. Happy anniversary! We run 1 day and 20 years behind you.
Happy anniversary! What a wonderful thing to be celebrating.
(PS - thanks for your comments on my own blog. It appears that falling down stairs and blogging about it draws a good deal of attention!)
Adding my belated congratulations. I have always wanted what you have, a truly committed partner to share the joys and challenges of life with. I believe I finally have one, so we are working on our first year of happiness.
Best wishes to you both!
Congratulations! That is a true accomplishment!
My best to you both. Long term commitment is exactly to what you mentioned- the love and willingness of both to work through life's challenges together. You are better together than you ever would have been apart, yet each helps each other be a better person.
May you have many more years, each filled with more joy than challenges and continue to grow.
