marking time

JeanneAndy07319173

we have been married 38 years today.
13,870 days.

and though love
doesn’t look the same
or taste the same
or smell
or sound
or feel
the same as it did
38 years ago,
it has kissed
every single
one of those days.

and that’s the important thing.

    Congratulations, Dear. What a beautiful bride, beautiful woman.

      Thank you. You know, Jewels, one thing that’s changed is that I don’t hear the word “beautiful” very often any more. So thank you even more.

        You are more beautiful and desirable today than you were when I met you 38 years ago.

        • whollyjeanne

          Oh wow. Hear me purr . . .

    Oh I love you from 38 years ago almost as much as I love you now. What a sweet picture. Congratulations on turning toward love again and again – on choosing each other each of those 13,870 days.

    • whollyjeanne

      Oh, Sugar. You’re so right: we CHOOSE love every day. xo

    Happy Anniversary! Congrats on 38 years. =)

    • whollyjeanne

      Thank you, Sugar. 38 years. Sounds such a long time. (Only because it is!)

    I love the counting of the days here, and the recognition of the moment-by-moment-sensory-ness of a 38-year marriage.  Love to you both.

    • whollyjeanne

      Thank you, Sugar. It is a choice – every single day – and some days the choice is easier than other days;) xo

    CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! 🙂 I love love stories. I love that despite what all the pessimists and national statistics says, marriage can work. Love can work. 

Pull up a chair why don't you, and let's talk . . .
