An Encore...

“Love is eternal - the aspect may change, but not the essence”        ― Vincent van Gogh

There is nothing like fresh flowers.  Even a small bud vase of snippets from the garden can brighten a dark corner and instantly bring a smile. It is especially lovely when the flowers are not only decoration for the house but serve a dual purpose. This bouquet was a gift from my husband. A token of love and a celebration of 22 years of marriage, as well as perhaps a boost of encouragement for my waning patience with what feels like the slowest growing sunflowers ever (see last post).

I can hardly believe hubby and I have been together for 22 years. Well really 27 years, as we dated five years before we married. I am so incredibly lucky to share my days with a best friend and even after all this time I continue to fall more madly, deeply in love with this man. He accepts me for all that I am and am not, always there to be honest but kind, my biggest cheerleader and a shoulder to cry on (which I have used a lot this year).  Don't get me wrong, our relationship has had ups and downs, but we have always clung to each other in the good and bad times. And I wouldn't want it any other way.

So Happy Anniversary to My Still Mr. Right. I know our love is eternal!
