Anniversary

Tomorrow will be our 5th Anniversarry (for the second time). We will celebrate in a low key kind of way. Just a nice meal out and some quite time at home together. Underneath that though will be years of love and respect. Sometimes you do have to lose everything to find out exactly what you have. I admit that I was the "stupid" one, the one that thought there was something "better" out there. And I was also the one to come back, tail between my legs, and ask for a second chance. Seems like a lifetime ago and a time that we honestly don't focus on, I guess a time that we would both like to keep in the past. But, yes, it did happen, and I can only say that I'm thankful that the man that I fell in love with in my youth was (and is) a loving and forgiving man. I wasn't sure when I moved back into our house whether it was the right move or not---but several years (and a marriage ceremony) later, I couldn't imagine myself anywhere else. I will also admit that I had to dig out the marriage certificate and see how many years we had been married for this time. I will always count the years from the first time, the "real" time because as the years have gone by I have realized that for me there was really only one man that counted. He is and will always be "the love of my life" and my true "best friend".  I love him and he loves me and that is enough for both of us!
