13 years of living and growing a time of shared love and work shared hurt, shared pain and shared joy.
Shared fears, shared anticipation; we’ve lived in the present and looked to the future.
Fullness of life and fullness of possessions sometimes resulting in cluttered minds and cluttered spaces but always we have been reaching, grasping and growing.
Living our lives, we have not been content with watching them pass.
We have been blessed with beautiful and loving children who provide a focus or prism for our energies, breaking them into all the colors of the spectrum.
As families shatter around us we continue on, struggling to deal with our problems, committed to making our family survive through love and purpose.
It has not been like we thought it would be 13 years ago today, but in spite of the scars our relationship has a beauty and resiliency that is wonderful to live in.
I love you!
Don
This is something I wrote to Sheila on our 13th anniversary.
