Today We Reached 24 Years

Sheryl & Mike:  24th Anniversary

Mike and I have spent over half of our lives together, and we still like each other.  Of course, we still love each other too, but being friends coincides with being spouses.  I am amazed that 24 years have flown by.  It’s good to stop and celebrate these occasions!

People have been asking me how many years have we been married, and I reply, “Twenty-four.”  They usually say, “Ahhh.  Then next year is the big year.  Do you have any plans?”

I am blown away. What is wrong with celebrating the 24th Anniversary?  Yes, 25 is big, but we’re not there yet.  Why not focus on the year we had?
We’ve had a few major milestones:  Ryan graduation from high school.  Nick and Mike went to Hawaii.  Ryan and Nick earned their driving permits.  They also had their first jobs.  Among others.  Yes, this list is really about the boys, but that is reflective of our marriage:  family.

I am: a) happily married for over 27 years; b) mom to five boys, three diagnosed with autism; c) a home schooling mom; and d) self-employed as a piano teacher. There is no trace of autism on my side or my husband's side of the family tree. Until nine years ago, my youngest four all had disabilities, the youngest three with autism. Five years ago my youngest did not "qualify" for the autism label, rendering him "recovered". My second oldest also "tested" out of his speech delay. My husband and I attribute these successes to the care of many family members and therapists, change in diets, not following mainstream medicine yet listening to medical advice, doing our own research, and most importantly, lots of prayer.
