Love is —
Transferring to your college
Always installing the car seats
Serving as your human alarm clock
Folding tiny pairs of underwear just so
Reading an essay he wants to share with you as you both lie in bed and not minding
when you fall asleep halfway through
Going to small group, pressing into friendship
Driving the old car
The middle-of-the-night parent, the patient parent, the fun parent
Hearing “my wife” across the room, a thrill still
Researching the candidates
Falling asleep with the light on
and
Grumbling about how you stay up too late to read
Making every hard decision less scary
Never ever giving you a reason to doubt
Always reaching for you, always beside you
An unending conversation with my best friend
Who we were and who we are
The most fun we’ve ever had
So simple, so grand.
In honor of our 12th anniversary, inspired by Jen.
A thrill still. Same, same, same. ❤️
yes.yes.yes.
This is so beautiful!
So lovely. Marriage really is extraordinary, and its gifts are both microscopic and innumerable all at the same time.
Love love love love love! Happy 12 years to the best of the best!
Beautiful!
“Making every hard decision less scary” is one of the (many) things I miss about my relationship with my late husband. Sometimes it’s crippling to make big decisions now – and it’s been nearly 8 years.
It’s hard to imagine, Cathy. Grieving with you ❤️
“my wife” across the room. still gets me too. so beautiful, em!
