Dear Jake and Jan,
Both of you together have given so much to the NGDF
and it is shown through your writings and dedication.
Part of you and your 25 years together is seen by others
daily just as you keep on with persistence, understanding and a great love.
Your spread of faith is seen by:
You have always been happy for other people
when they are happy.
Being sad for the other people when they are sad
Being together in good times
and being together in bad times.
Being honest with yourself at all times.
Being honest with the other people at all times
telling, listening, respecting the truth
and never pretendi
You have an understanding that is so complete that
you feel as if you are a part of the other person
accepting the other person just the way they are.
The fury of the storm
the calm of the rainbow,
Giving and taking in a daily situation.
Being patient with each other’s needs and desires
knowing that the other person
will always be with you regardless of what happens
but remaining near in heart at all times
Happy Anniversary!
Just as Jake always, says “Life is Good!”
