That fiasco last week of trying to find a replacement for my daughter’s peace sign hand that I accidentally broke, led me to this \u201cthumbs-up hand\u201d. Of course, I had to buy it for sweet memories\u2019 sake. In this photo, my husband was talking to our children shortly after surgery and giving them the “All is well — thumbs up sign”. From there, I went into wimpy-mode, shedding a few tears, as I pulled out the album I made him for his 60th birthday, and saw the words our children and close friends and family wrote to him. Perfect timing because today is that sweet man\u2019s birthday. Please indulge me as I remember the love of my life in the letter I gave him on that 60th birthday. He might be looking on as I share this with you today. I hope so because I still mean every word. I’m sure he’ll also be running with our son, Ryan, as he runs his “virtual” Boston Marathon today:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Sweetheart — Happy Birthday!
It is difficult to put my thoughts around the notion that you are 60-years old. How can that be? I still remember feasting my eyes on that good looking, dark-haired boy in the choir. Little did I realize that he would one day be mine. All I can say to that is “God bless the day I found you!”
I hope you know how much you are loved, honored, respected, and admired by everyone. This is a time of celebrating a man that has made his mark on so many lives, the least of whom is ME! I am more today than I could have ever dreamed possible because of you — your relentless pushing and encouraging me to be all I could be. You have always made me feel like a sexy, voluptuous, and beautiful woman. When I didn’t believe in myself — you believed in me! I am so thankful for the amazing husband, father, and grandfather that you are. You have always given of yourself so freely to so many. I will never forget the precious, caring and giving way you treated my mom. You always made her feel like a queen. You went above and beyond in the love you had for my family — you not only opened the door to them, but you fed them, clothed them and gave them truly the Father’s love. You really are a replica of Christ’s love. There are so many adjectives for this man named “Ronald Wuerch” and so many reasons why I celebrate your life of 60 years, but here are just a few. I love Ronald because\u2026..
\u2022 He plays the piano and sings so beautifully
\u2022 He can build a house from ground up and make it a home for many
\u2022 He can fly an airplane
\u2022 He can fix anything
\u2022 He has so much wisdom and creativity
\u2022 He is a gifted storyteller
\u2022 He is a great fisherman and campfire builder
\u2022 He cooks great spaghetti
\u2022 He is the world’s best masseuse
\u2022 He helps around the house
\u2022 He is so giving to those in need
\u2022 He is so thoughtful and romantic, and always holds my hand in public.
\u2022 He never makes me feel bad about an impulse purchase
\u2022 He is my greatest cheerleader
\u2022 He sees the good in everyone and has led our family in the optimistic, positive faith message of God\u2019s Word that has caused ultimate success in each of our lives.
\u2022 He is really my best friend, lover, confidante, my hero, and the love of my life. I cannot imagine living one day without him.
\u2022 And there’s not enough room here to continue with all that you are to me\u2026\u2026but I want you to know that I wish you dreams come true, desires fulfilled and blessings beyond what you could ask or think\u2026\u2026.because, my Love, you deserve it all!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MY DARLING!
Love, Donna<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
