A post dedicated to my husband on our fifth wedding anniversary.
In the last 5 years, we have accomplished so many things and grown to unbelievable standards. Closed chapters that we were overly excited to close and some that came with a lot of grief. All opening up new and exciting chapters ahead, each one more extravagant than the last.
I wish I could go back and wrap the broken hearted little girl I once knew up in a glorious hug and tell her what I know now. The endless love she would find in a partner unimaginable to her young life. I would tell her that the current heartache would one day feel like a skipping stone on it’s way to the life changing wave.
The way our family become whole may not be extraordinary to the world but it will always hold a special place in my heart. What an amazing time we’ve had creating lives and meeting individuals we couldn’t imagine loving so much. The people our children grow into every day are a grand reflection of the love we’ve shared. I’ll never forget these words through your tears as we closed this chapter in our lives:
“it feels like grief, it’s so much fun having babies with you, I’m deeply saddened..”
I had never thought of our child bearing experience as fun, but hearing that perception from you touched me somewhere deep. With it, came flooding back all the wonderful memories. Meeting Violette for the first time, watching you gaze at her in awe of what we created together. The proud smile upon your face when you met your first born son, and the tears brought to your eyes when Sterling made his quick ascension.
We’ve grown together in knowledge, business, homes, and curiosity of the world. But most of all, we’ve grown in love and happiness. What an abundance we have! I can’t wait to spend the next 50 years with you by my side. If what has been shows what is to come, it’s bound to be miraculous.
