Johnny and Pat!

Well here is my beautiful wife Pat and I on our wedding day over three years ago. She is my high school sweetheart and nearly lost her to lung cancer. She was battling the cancer on our wedding day but I love her with all my heart and we got married because I wanted to full fill a dream of hers to be married to me and it is what I wanted as well.

Great to see you both again! I remember this picture very well and your unabashed profession of love for Pat is just awesome.

Married to my high school sweetheart for 26 years, she was 17 and I was 19. God had the perfect plan for me even though I didn't know that for sure then. LOL

Here's to many more years of wedded bliss, eh?

Thanks all for the compliments!! Pat and I have been through alot of wars together and presently we are doing well!

Pat has been getting a really warm feeling going through her body lately so we are a little concerned about that and hope to get that diagnosed soon!

I have my ups and downs with diabetes but that is to be expected. I try to be good most of the time but it is the holiday season right now!

That's really awsome!! One of our close secretaries is battling lung cancer as we speek, and I hate to see it when she gets down, but we try our best to spark her spirets. Great story and the best of luck to you both!
