Twelve


Pumpkinville 07 027, originally uploaded by Jaquandor.

Twelve years ago today, the woman pictured here voluntarily became my wife. I’m not entirely sure what possessed her to do that, but I’m glad she did, because it spared me the trouble of kidnapping some woman and holding her captive in my basement. Thanks, Dear!

Kidding aside, I’m glad I had her to walk beside me, and for me to walk beside, over these years — both the good times and the bad. I’m luckier than I deserve, I suspect. Hoping for twelve more years, and twelve more after that, and twelve more after that….

(And a few months ago, on her birthday, I posted 100 things I love about her. Always a good post to revisit!)

    Congratulations to you and your fair maiden.

    You inspired me to write again. This is what I wrote to my wife so I dedicate it to you and your Queen:

    The folly of me

    Grasping at self preservation

    Deluded and absorbed

    Lost confidence anxiety

    Yet I am no more

    Your benevolent serenity

    Washed upon a soul downward cast

    This life is a moment

    Insignificant is my past

    A future I now need to see

    such undeserved recompense

    Without hesitation I complement

    The capacity of we
