"For Some There Is Forever Only One"
I'm not sure how many of you who read my feeble attempts at putting my thoughts, memories and blessings in print even know The Love of My Life. If you have had the good fortune to have met him, then you know what I say is true. If you haven't, my hope is that one day you will have that opportunity.
Those who know us know I have a personality that, at times is at the least, aggressive. The man I'm married to however, is a peacemaker. He tries to live his life for the purpose of being a reflection of The Father, bringing a peacefulness to those around him.
That's not to say he hasn't failed at times, but he has never put himself before me. He has been open and available to serve all whom he meets. Through out his life and especially for the past twenty-five years, he has been an example to the wisest of men and the meekest of children, church elders, pastors, employers and employees. He has served husbands and wives while sweeping the hallways in a daycare, and he has served our children and grandchildren. Many times making the hard choices and showing a tuff love, eventhough his own heart was breaking.
I've seen him cry grown man tears because of disappointments inflicted by those he loved and trusted, somehow "wept" is a more discriptive term, but I've not seen him allow his heart to harden. I do not intend to portray him as "rightous, or pious", those who know him understand what I mean. He is just a man who places value on relationships rather than judgements.
This man, Les Fenter, did not become who he is on his own. He has a very rich heratige passed down to him from his mother and father and I thank them for dedicating their lives to loving and preparing him for a life of service. During times of struggle and pain they loved him and thus taught him to love in the same way.
I'm sure, by now you get my message, and hopefully you understand why...

"For Some There Is Forever Only One" and why he's The Love if My Life.
I Love You, Les
