Our road has not always been easy. We've had to work hard and fight for what we have and I'm not talking material things. We've worked at our relationship;both of us allowing growth and change in our lives. We've become better people, more understanding, more patient. We have made it safe to be ourselves and say what we feel without fear. We are, I believe, as intimate as two people can be.
Six years ago the sky was blue, the leaves were at peak color and the day was warm. Our friends and family gathered as we joined our lives and we danced into the night in a lighted hay shed. Today, it's cold and drizzling. We had plans to go to the river, sit in the sun by the water, drink tea and watch the vultures soar on the thermals overhead and maybe pick some cranberries. We may still do that if the rain lets up, though I'm sure we will be bundled up - high of 47 today. If we don't, so what? We'll spend time here with each other and that's what matters to me. The time.
Time is all I ever really wanted and time is what I didn't get in my first marriage. Time is what I get with Mike and why this all works so well. We make and take time. So, on this, our Anniversary, we'll spend time together. Maybe we will read, play a game, make some salsa out of our tomatoes, take a nap together or go for a drive. I don't know and I don't really care as long as we are together.
Mike is my best friend and love of my life. There has not been one second of one day that I have regretted being his wife. Not even now when this is all so hard.
Happy Anniversary My Love
Karen
