Forever

I know this may sound odd or perhaps a bit cliche, but I feel like I've been married forever! In the best and worst ways, I have become "wife" and "partner." Frustrated and then resolved because I know I can't change him just because I'm annoyed, then, comforted and dependent on him being my best friend, confidant, cheerleader--my all. Wherever the future leads us to, it is together. As I pray for our relationship, I hope that one of us is always feeling a determination to work through the difficult times. Carrying me when I cannot carry myself and visa versa, my desire is to remember the feeling of "I would be devastated if here were not here." I just see myself doing things to uplift him and I am honored by seeing him doing something to make me giggle. I guess I'm just saying that I feel hopeful about this, excited about today and the next. Oh yes, there are nights I have to fight myself to go and apologize and I see where it is work, but it is the best job I've ever had!
