Always find the funny

31 years ago today, she married me.

31 years ago, we were both very different people - so very young - yet who we are to each other, everything, hasn’t changed one bit.

31 years ago, I pinched myself that I had married up in the world. Still do. Every day.

31 years ago, the future seemed so limitlessly bright. It still does, only in much more vibrant tones.

31 years ago, we had only just begun to write our story. Today, we often like to reread the parts of that story that we’ve since created. That’s why we smile so much.

31 years ago, we hadn’t met our kids. Hard to imagine a world without them.

31 years ago, we had our entire family around us. Today, we’ve lost some of them. That time thing.

31 years ago, “Sickness and health” were just words. Today, we’ve lived them.

31 years ago, we were just figuring out who we were. We still are - and always will be - but we’ve learned how to do it in lockstep.

31 years ago, she finished my sentences. Still does, only more precisely.

31 years ago, the world was a very different place than it is today. But we’ve navigated it together, which is the only thing that matters to me.

31 years ago, she laughed with me. To this day, every day we find excuses and opportunities to laugh together. Even if the days themselves can sometimes be hard.

31 years ago, I worried about being enough for her. Part of me always will.

31 years ago, I made a promise. Every day since, I’ve done my best to keep it.

31 years ago, we knew we were bashert. Fated. Destined. The universe hasn’t let us down on that one.

I love this girl and all we are and all we’ve built. If I knew then what I know now, I’d change nothing.

Happy anniversary, my love. Thank you for just being you.
