I am sure most of you know by now about my hubby having had a triple heart bypass last august , complications set in and we thought we had lost him , He had suffered 4 heart attacks previous to that and it has been nothing short of a miracle that he is here with us and no more chest pains ,He has possible more operations to come but we will cross that bridge when we come to it , WELL it is his 68th birthday today and I am just so happy , WE have been married 46 years in October he is my best friend and my soul mate , Every time I look at him I thank God as it is nothing less than a miracle that he is still here with us , A bit mushy I know but I just wanted to share xxxx

Wow! 46 years! That is awesome, and something that is very rare these days. Good for the two of you. Congrats. And you make sure to give that young man a big birthday hug from me. And please tell him that orneriness and good humor will keep him young (it worked for my dad! LOL). Love and hugs.

Wooohooo please wish him happy 68th birthday! He is very lucky to have such a lovely, warm person in you. I think knowing he had you gave him the extra fight to stay alive! Any man would be crazy to leave you! Here's hoping you have a lovely meal! Congratulations on having such a loving partnership it's wonderful to hear! x

I am so happy for you. Maybe you should make this birthday an extra special one. Tade one day at a time and do things with him like he may not be here tomorrow. God gave you back the joy in your life and best friend. Just treat every day like it might be your last. Enjoy and do things that you might have never done. Make them special.

Weemam, I realy enjoyed reading your letter, u know why, because I also had a bypass surgery, on 6th june 06 (666-according to u westerners the sign of Devil), I had a triple by pass, but after the surgery, the good Doctor informed me that he had put 5 patches, which I have no way to check.
Well I can understand your feelings because my wife also felt the same way as u are feeling and I am only 48 and I hope to celebrate my marriage Silver Jubilee, and I sincerly hope and pray that u and your husband celeberate your 50 anniversary (golden Jubilee), this letter is definitely not mushy and it shows your true love to your husband,sonce I am younger to your husband I cannot bless him but not only me but my entire family wishes u the very best for years to come.

Hi Weemam, yes I know of your husband's health problems that you both had to go through. I do not think that your discussion is mushy by any means and especially after what the two of you have been through in your life together, it is for sure a miracle and once again I would love to wish your husband a Happy Birthday and thank the Lord that he is still with you and for being thankful that God guided those doctors that operated on your beloved husband.

Congratulations weemam I'm so happy for you. Not too many can say what you have said after being married 5 years let alone 46 Years. Happy Birthday to hubby as well. My husband also had heart surgery this year. He had quadruple bypass June 19.

Happy Birthday to your hubby! It is definitely a blessing to have such a strong heart and marriage for such a long time, you are truly blessed. It certainly helps to be married to your best friend I know. My hubby and I have only been married 4 years (still newlyweds) but I wouldn't have anyone else! There is nothing wrong with being mushy as you both have so much to be thankful for!

Happy Birthday to your husband! Mushy is a good thing- I love to hear of people who have so much love in their hearts. It does sound as if your husband has been through a lot and is a bit of a "miracle". He's probably living healthier today, on his 68th birthday, than he has for the past several years. Congrats. on your almost 46 year anniversary, also. I'm sure you'll be celebrating 50 years together before you know it, as you know how fast time flies! A solid relationship and marriage is something that you can both be so proud of. I'm sure that he loves and cherishes you as much as you do him.
Enjoy the day!
