This past week or so has been pretty rough on you sweetie. From our daughter going off to college again, our other daughter starting her last year of school, very sick nephew and then very scary sick you. How you keep a smile on your face is beyond me.
Things will get better though, they always do. Seems like over the past 22 years (8,000 plus days) we have ridden so many ups and downs that we almost have become accustomed weathering storms. While a few of the most recent are far more severe than we have dealt with in the past, I know that they will pass too. They will pass with something positive on the other end.
I am suddenly excited about one new thing in our future. The idea of finding a new place that is "ours" and preparing for the future that will be mostly just you and me. Not that I don't love our girls, but spending the rest of my life with you alone has some real appeal. Making new or connecting with some old friends will be a bonus as well. Just think how much time we will have to spend relaxing, laughing and enjoying each other.
I have always wondered what life "after kids" (in quotes because I know you never really have after kids) would be like for us. How would we spend our days, what would we do, where would we travel, what new traditions would we create, the list goes on and on. We are getting very close to that time and while portions of it make me sad, much of it makes me excited.
It won't matter what we do so long as we do it together. Just as we always have. Hand in hand. Me and you. We could live in a shack, or a house or a downtown townhouse. It won't matter so long as we are together. It is still the best part of my life.
The countdown begins to the next 50 years. I know it isn't retirement, but it is a big change.
You're the world to me. I love you more than anything in the world.
