For Jennifer

On February 13, 1993, you and I were married. I remember that day as if it were yesterday! I bet you do, too.

Since then we've had a wonderful and exciting time together, haven't we!

We've laughed more than yelled. We've cried many more tears of joy than pain. We've sought each other out for comfort much more than we have for confrontation, and we've spent many more quiet and joyous moments than loud or angry ones.

We've explored what it means to be partners. What it means to be married, what it means to be in love.

Together, we've helped present three wonderful people to the world! While we may not always have been right in our parenting decisions, we've always intended the best. I see you in them, and I'm proud and humbled by it. I'm so excited for them! And I'm so excited for us!

Thank you, Jeni, for allowing me to be your partner on this miraculous journey we've undertaken. I look forward to many more years on Earth with you, as well as to the beautiful promise of an eternity by your side.

I love you more this day than I ever thought possible that day those 14 short years ago.

MTI, this is lovely! My husband and I share a similar bond and history, and we often wonder why we don't see more of it reflected in others. Yours is a joyful illumination of sharing a journey together. --Barb
