Jeany's anniversary message to Barry:

It's our wedding anniversary- the 22nd of May,
Forty-four married years, that's the total today.

The years have been full of operations on you,
A ruptured appendix, way at the beginning, should have been my big clue.

Then it was stents and open heart surgeries 2, too,
Both shoulders replaced and an infection that grew.

Shoulder number 3 came along with a PICC line, oh my,
Jeany's not a nurse, but it was either her or maybe die.

Rescued kitties and dealing with crazies at the gym,
Navigating Haygen and train rides to visit him.

Yearly trips to the Sandals resorts to celebrate this,
And building an 804 pool that's purely bliss.

Happy 44 years- time goes by like a skip and a hop,
We have to keep moving because time and wrinkles never stop.
