26!
This is Susie Miller Tweedy (and me). I’m tempted to say that if you aren’t married to her then your wife is a piece of crap. But hearing her voice in my head, I’m thinking better of saying such a thing. See… even without consultation, she’s steering me toward a subtler and kinder way of saying what I want to say. Which all goes to show what a force she’s been in my effort to be a better person. What I really want to say is this…
After 26 years of marriage and around 30ish total years of going steady, I still can’t believe my good fortune. Somehow the smartest, coolest, and funniest woman alive thought enough of me to take my hand. I love her more every day and I wouldn’t be here without her. Happy Anniversary Sukierae! OxO
Here's a song I wrote for Susie a while back. It's called In a Sad Kinda Way.
Happy 26th! One of the silver linings of the pandemic was getting to see your relationship with Susie via The Tweedy Show. ❤️
The photo of you two reminds me of Either Way, the first song on the first album that started a new, and better, era of songwriting. If the majestic, grandiose, Grammy-award winning Ghost is Born is a suicide note, then Sky Blue Sky is an awakening of a man surprised to find himself still alive, with the sun shining, humbly grateful, and remembering how much he is in love with his wife. The album came out in the 1st year of my marriage to my beautiful, hardly a piece of crap, wife, Kristin (sassipantsyoga), 16 years on August 4th, and this picture of you so obviously adoring your wife, that album, and every one since, remind me of how much I love my wife more and more with every passing day. Thank you.
