Mrs Van Helsing



Quite a few years ago, a beautiful girl left her home in England aged 18 and went on a big adventure.  She went to work in Germany, all by herself because she was very brave.

A year later she returned to England and found work with a company in a big city. She moved into a scruffy house that was shared by other people who all worked for the same company.These people all shared the kitchen and living room and would sit on the worn out sofa bickering over what to watch on the TV or whose turn it was to clean the kitchen.  Despite this they all got on well with each other.

One of these people was a man who had returned from his own big adventure in America and London.  He had messy hair, wore Slayer t-shirts, smoked and drank too much and lacked direction.  He was smitten by the beautiful girl but lacked the confidence to tell her.

For some reason, the beautiful girl found this shambles of a man attractive and on a works night out she asked him to dance in a night club and kissed him on the dance floor.  They started to go out together and as they got to know each other realised they had fallen in love.  When she told the man she loved him they were standing on the roof of the Taj Mahal Casino in Atlantic City, she certainly knew how to pick a good venue.

Today Mr and Mrs Van Helsing are celebrating their 10th Wedding Anniversary.  She is the greatest person that he has ever met, grows more beautiful each year and he is so in love with her that it overflows his heart.

I just wanted you to know how much she means to me.

Good God that's nice. Does she know about the tea tree oil for your face? If Dr. X had written something that nice to me, I would have shat myself from the shock, but I bet you're nice to Mrs. Van Helsing all the time.

Love,

How did I miss this!?! You are so sweet and your wife sounds like an incredible woman! You are blessed to have each other! Here's to 10 more wonderful years! Happy belated anniversary!

Unknown said...

Could it be that she just felt really sorry for you? (That's the story my wife is sticking to, and I am trying to help myself not feel so bad by looking for others in the same situation.)

Vinnie Vinegar said...

I agree. she is far too good for you. Happy Anniversary
