16 Years


Before he stepped into my life, I had traveled rough waters. I held little trust in self and in love. But then he came. Just around the corner cubicle. He brought with him a joy I hadn't known existed. He restored me whole again. A place I'd long forgotten.

16 years. Time tested. Life tested. Children, jobs, moves, sorrow and growth. Age has inched her way for us both. Life ebbs and flows. But love stands still and firm. Now, even all these years later, he walks through the door at night and my heart feels home again.

Happy Birthday (and anniversary) to the greatest gift I have been given.
