Yesterday, February 22, marked our 10th anniversary! We didn’t think it was possible for EITHER of us to make it to 10 years. Actually, we’ve been together for 12. Like I’ve mentioned before, this isn’t our FIRST rodeo! For me, I never seem to make it past the 7 year itch. lol I’m feeling accomplished and SO happy that I lived to see this day.
I wasn’t predicted to live another 6 months in 2008. In fact, every year that passes, my team of doctors are amazed that I’m still here. Now, with an upcoming intestine transplant, they’re giving me even less time. Life is precious and we try to celebrate every chance we get. The hubby wants SO BADLY to take me on another cruise before we undergo more medical procedures. I’m not very sure that I’ll be able to go on a cruise because once you’re put on a transplant list, you have to stay close to home in order to wait for that call. The call that tells you to jump on a plane and get there immediately. We can’t get a call like that if we’re in another country or on the ocean.
For now we’ll celebrate close to home and with little things.
Note from Ben that says: 10 years! Are you freaking KIDDING me?
I was not expecting more flowers! He’d already given me 2 beautiful bouquets this month! I have the most romantic husband in the world, I think.
Our wedding song turned out to be prophetic. It makes me cry every time!
When you hold me like this
so many memories fill my eyes
the first time we kissed
the times we nearly said good-bye
but still here we are
tested and tried and still true
and stronger than we ever knewChorus:
Love is all
the laughter and the tears that fall
the mundane and the magical
love is all
all is love
the careless word, the healing touch
the getting and the giving of
all is love
there’s a me you’ve always known
the me that’s a stranger still
the you that feels like home
and the you that never will
but still here we lie
tender and trusting and true
with everything that we’ve been throughRepeat Chorus
All the glory
all the pain
all the passion
that turns to ashes
only to rise againLove is all
the laughter and the tears that fall
the mundane and the miracle
love is all
all is love
the careless word, the healing touch
the getting and the giving of
all is love
And That's All She Wrote!
