I awoke with a new chapter in the ongoing story that is my relationship with Mark forming in my head, probably because today is our anniversary. We have been married 24 years.Because it is our anniversary, I will be spending the rest of my day with my first love, not engaged doing something I love: writing.
But I look forward to sharing what-I-have-yet-to-write someday soon - my attempt to explain how we are quite different today than the young man and young woman who vowed to share life together on May 30, 1986.
I know that our friends and relatives wonder about our relationship, and that strangers don't even know what to wonder. I hope to write of the wonder.
Our story is worth telling. I look forward to every chapter yet to come. Until then, I'll share the beauty of my anniversary roses with you. This year, after their delivery, I was left wondering: How does he keep managing to surprise me with such predictable regularity?
I love you, Mark. Thank you for sharing all of life with me. Only you - you alone - can know what that means. Happy Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary! It is a wonder when 2 people can grow and change and yet still stay together and love each other so totally! I hope you reveled in that all day!
Thanks, KaKi. I'm so glad that we met you and Jack once upon a newly wedded time.
Happy anniversary! We celebrated 17 years in May. ;) And, oh my word, I just looked up your comment about getting together. That was in January?!? So sorry I haven't contacted you. And I'll be heading out of town on Monday for six weeks. Summer vacation ... whee! But if you're still up for it, maybe we can get together for coffee later in the summer.
Congrats on your anniversary! I hope you did something special, and - a six-week vacation - what a luxury!
Yes, I'm always up for coffee and conversation. Check back after your safe return. I'd enjoy hearing of your adventures.
