I have to write about my husband who I have been married to for 32 years The first time I laid eyes on him and actually talked to him was walking out of the cafeteria. I told him he didn't fill out his T-shirt like his roommate did. he always wore a SMU football Tshirt. Little did I know he owned very few shirts. Then several weeks later I asked him to help me move out of the dorm to another dorm and he did. He was always so shy, but sweet, masculine but gentle, humble yet proud. He carried his head high and walked with confidence like very few men do. But it was probably it was his love for God that amazed me. The faith he had in God was unmeasured by any young man I ever had known, Even those young men who wanted to be preachers. We married and eventually had 2 lovely girls whom I'm very proud of. We have gone through so much yet so little the last 32 years. He lost both of his parents and both of mine have had serious illnesses and surgeries. He's been denied jobs because he was married to me. It has been an amazing ride. The girls have been mistreated when they shouldn't have been. All we do is pray and let God take over.My husband has made a difference in hundreds of lives here in Abilene and is always willing to help whenever he's needed. He is such a forgiving man and doesn't hold grudges no matter who hurts him or our family. It's amazing how he's such an example to all of us in that area.
