YEARS!!!!!
and he still can make me laugh
he still makes my toes curl
and while i am still super annoyed about the no canning/no kitchen countertops thing
i still love him dearly with my whole heart, and soul and toenails....
although there are times.....
anyone who's been married for a long period of time to the same person will tell you....
there are good things, bad things and things you don't bother to fight about anymore....
there is something to be said for being with one person forever.....
they are family...
sometimes more so then blood relatives.......
or maybe most often?
and while you do get mad
if you still enjoy each others company like bernie and i do
you are way ahead of the game.
he woke me up this morning, at 4:30 am ( yup we get up early)
and remembered to wish me a happy anniversary.....
me..... i was still half in a dream state.....
i just called him to make sure he'd gotten to work ok.....
yup just pulled in
we were to have gone out to eat yesterday but since he was out sick that week, we stayed home.
we shared the cooking, with a roasted chicken, my homemade mushroom gravy, mashed yukon gold potatoes and green beans from last years garden
my homemade and home canned applesauce for dessert
i am pretty sure he'd marry me again in a heart beat
til next time
happy anniversary bernie, i love you
vi

ReplyDeletethank you! And happy happy happy anniversary! It's true - exactly what you said - a long marriage is really something else - funny, silly, sure,
I think what I love best - at least in that sitting back and looking at it intellectually - is how we fight. It's like some choreographed dance. We say these stock things – the body language is all prearranged – and nobody says unforgivable things – just stupid things that mean “It is safe to let off steam here”.
Of course, there are other things I love bester and bestest. And yes. I do sometimes just call, or get a call, to say i love you. Who needs valentines day?
XOXO!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! We have been married 21 years, so what you said was very familiar.
