Today we would be celebrating 23 years married and 30 years together. Max loved to share the number of years together more than the number of years married. The reality is that we had 20 years married and 27 years together. 27 amazing years filled with love, laughter, tears, disappointments and accomplishments. I want to always honour our life. I want everyone to know the love Max had, the husband he was, the marriage I was so blessed to have. Max chose me to live life to the fullest with. He was my best friend.
