33 Years

November 9, 2007

Today Catherine and I celebrate:

33 years of marriage
have brought us to this date


living in 12 different houses in 3 provinces and 2 countries
have brought us to this place


10 children
have brought us 32 years of joy, challenges and a deep hope for the future


25 years of medical practice (not shared equally by each of us, I am only the doctor, Catherine does EVERYTHING else)
have brought us a connection with a community of wonderful people spanning all spectrums of life’s journey through sickness and health, joy, grief, prosperity, poverty, prayer and an unshakable knowledge that we care for others they care for us, when we carry others they carry us.


Countless tears mixed joy, sadness, loss and laughter
have softened our souls and taught us that in brokeness there is strength not weakness that reconciliation leads to

one life
one love
one home
one heart
one marriage
