I offer you the autumn of my life

I offer you not the “summer of my life” but the autumn, brisk and vibrant.
I promise to be a companion worthy of your precious friendship.

I pledge you compassion in good times and bad; encouragement in sickness and health.
It is my intent that our life together include our large circle of friends and loving families. We’ll cherish the memories of our individual pasts and create our new life as we go now together.
