Before I had finished my coffee this morning,
I was greeted by this news from my wife.
“Did you know it was 40 years ago today that you asked me to marry you?”
I did not know.
But, I remember the day.
I remember where we were.
I remember she said yes.
And, I know it was one of if not the best decisions of my life.
I am who I am today because of who we are together.
How does 40 years go by in a heartbeat?
Memories compressed together one after another.
Day by day adding up to a life time.
My gratitude runs deeper than my words can go.
