Whitey, would you have ever guessed that 33 years ago TODAY
when we stood before our family and friends
at Amherst Baptist Church in Tonawanda, New York
that 33 years later we would be bringing home a
sweet baby girl and precious 10 year old girl
making that officially number 11 and 12?
Dear best friend of mine –
we have had quite a ride…
Many joys, some struggles, too many trials
yet through them all
we have loved each other
we have loved all our treasures
and we have loved others
{even when they haven’t necessarily ‘deserved’ it}
And babe, there is no one on earth that
I would rather be spending my days loving,
snuggling with
and sleeping beside…
No one today would believe all the work you
have allowed the Lord to do in your life.
You are a man of God.
You are a man of integrity.
You are a man who loves with reckless abandon
{and frankly, I find that extremely sexy}
Don’t know many 30-somethings who would fall in love
with a 6 lb. little 10 month old treasure with hydrocephalus
and tell the orphanage director that they would do anything for her,
so that the orphanage director would take them up
on that offer and ask if they would adopt and they would say “yes”…
No babe, no one I know…
Only YOU…
and you are 56!
You are truly my hero!!
I love you with all my heart
and I am so thankful that 33+ years ago you invited me to spend the rest of my life with you…cause babe you are the best and I am so thankful that you are mine.
Forever.
~your Linny Lee~

Congratulations, Dwight and Linny! I tried to email you about a Holiday Marketplace that I am helping coordinate in Denver to benefit orphans. We did it last year and it was very successful! My default mail thing on my computer won't let me grab your email address….will you send it to me and I'll send you more details….I was thinking of your aspen candle holders….My hubby Doug and I met you and Dw last year at the Homecomings swimming and celebration night at Cherry Hills…..Jennifer (jennwitt1@msn.com)
