Today is my wedding anniversary. My husband and I have been married 33 years. yes, I was a child bride. LOL. Only 17 when we married. I'm the big 5-0 now. We have had a wonderful life together, through the good and bad. Just wanted you to know that it is a happy day.
Love and prayers, Judy(grandma047)

    Happy anniversary to you both Judy. We hope you can reflect on those years with much happiness and use this day to realise that all your troubles are just another bridge to get over. Jen and I have just passed 30 years--what a wonderfull thing Judy!!!! Many are not as fortunate as us. No matter how hard things seem now Judy we are sure this is not the first time you have both had to work very hard together to overcome an obstacle. Your cancer is probably the biggest issue you have both ever had to deal with. Jen and I am fighting it---you guys can too--never lose that will to fight "together"!!
    Celebrate you day together.
    luv n huggs, kanga n Jen

    Judy,

    Happy Anniversary !!! They say that most people who get married so young don't last. Well you have definitely conquered all of the struggles that cause marriages to end. You can conquer all of the struggles you are dealing with now too.

    Best Wishes,
    Deneen

    Judy -

    That is incredible. Congratulations. I can only wish I could find someone who could put up with my sense of humor for 33 years. (I seem to have a hard enough time finding someone who can tolerate me for 3 years!)

    Many happy returns of the day. Congratulations to your husband - you obviously make him a very happy man and he's fortunate to have found such a special person so early in his life.

    Cheers

    - Bob

    Happy, happy anniversary, Judy. You and hubby sure have been through a lot together. I keep reminding mine that I hope this is it for the "for worse" part.
    But wait, you're the "grandma" and I got you beat by 4 years of age, but am only married for 23 years. So...I was NOT a child bride for those of you who do the math, and my 2 kids 17 and 19) better not make me a grandma just yet.
    Congrats and enjoy,
    the other Judy

    Judy, Congats! I wish you many more filled with love and happiness! Sponge,you are so funny, I find it hard to believe that you can not find someone. Do you have some deep, dark, horrible secret you are hiding from us? Just joking :) Best wishes Judy, Danielle

    Happy Aniversary, Judy!

    I'm so glad that you are having a good day and celebrating a joyous occasion.

    I have been a widow for six years. My husband died of a heart attack while on a business trip in New Mexico. We never know what tomorrow will bring.

    Take care,

    Kay

    Dear Judy,
    Congratulations and best wishes!! That is wonderful.
    As others have said, these are certainly some of the "[for better] or worst" times. However, in the midst of all our difficulties, I feel it is important to celebrate the joys and the the celebratory occasions. Thank you so much for sharing your joyous occasion with us. It is truly a cause for celebration.
