Sitting here waiting for my best friend
I just got back from a three-day seminar in Santa Rosa. I spent three nights alone.
I'm not used to that.
I miss her presence, her scent, the soothing familiar breathing as she sleeps.
For some reason, this time was different. I missed her more than usual. Deeply. Achingly.
I awoke several times during the night looking for her.
She is my best friend, my first real romantic love, my heart.
Thank you, Jesus, for the gift of Diane. Thank you for grasping me by the arms as a young husband when I would get angry or do something hurtful or stupid. (Thanks for still doing that.)
Thank you for the wife of my youth.
Thank you for the love that you showed me on the cross, the shadow of which I feel now with her.
Thank you Jesus.
I love you, Diane.

This is my first ever bog comment. I just couldn't let that sweet entry go by and not let you know how touching that was. You made me cry. I know that I don't often let you know how much I love an appreciate you. Like you, I love the fact that we have grown up together. You are my best friend and I missed you too!! It pretty much stinks that we have another 3 days to go after spening only an hour together. I love you and can't wait for you to come home.
you guys!!!!!!... shame on you both for making this grown man cry. I'm just blessed to know both of you and honored to call you both FRIEND.
Sexy and sweet?!?! Dale, I'm seeing a whole other side to you in your blog! You and Diane both rock (and the kids too)!! I'm blown away by knowing you!
Wow...awkward like I walked in on you...(just kidding)
Very sweet Dale, and equally beautiful Diane.
Love you!
