Four Years Later

Yesterday was our 4th anniversary. Compared to my friends, many of whom are approaching their 30th anniversary, that is just a baby-step. It is kind of sad that we met so late in life - we certainly would have enjoyed the young-family thing. But better late than never. One of the children says we are now an "ordinary couple" meaning, perhaps, that our rlelationship has degenerated into the humdrum of life. However, we do not feel that way at all. I suppose we are more used to being with each other (although this semester has tested that more than usual) but we are as much in love today as we were four years ago. No, that's not true. The more we get to know each other, the more amazing it is how much we complement each other, and the deeper the love. OK, so now we know the truth - neither of us is perfect. However, given our ages and experiences from the past, we already knew that . The question is never whether someone is "good enough" for someone else - it is whether the other person can live with the particular flaws of the other one. We can live with these. In fact, life is wonderfully good. Sorry kids, I didn't mean to burst your bubble of humdrum with pukiness.
