It was challenging. <br /><br />I love your wisdom and outlook on life.<br /><br />Thanks so much for your kind words, Amy! You're always so genuine and reassuring. :) I wish we lived closer too, something tells me we would get along perfectly! :D<br /><br />P.S. I really need to find a pair of real hiking shoes.

We were young when we married. Looking back on it- we barely knew each other. And, I was 6 months pregnant to boot. While of course I loved him then, it still felt like more of a pragmatic move- rather than one that was led with the heart. As I imagine it might be in some arranged marriages- we grew to know each other, to learn, to eventually fall in love with each other. We had many lean times- financially, emotionally and I wondered if having done things so backwards if we had a strong enough foundation to keep us standing. It was like being thrust into the wilderness- we had to lean on each other and trust each other in order to survive. Outside factors had pressed the worst of times upon us- and it seemed like it might be easy to give up. But, we knew in our hearts neither one of us would find relief or contentment to walk away. We both knew that we wanted to give ourselves that which we didn't have in our own families growing up- a marriage that would last through old age. A marriage that was based on the willingness to be open minded, to be open hearted; based on mutual respect, admiration, encouragement. We're still figuring it all out and hopefully the universe will be so kind as to give us decades upon decades more to do so.Amy Cappellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17053728413283340262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782891856385197722.post-472864144971536382011-08-25T23:35:32.663-07:002011-08-25T23:35:32.663-07:00I wanted to thank you for commenting on my blog a ...I wanted to thank you for commenting on my blog a while ago and now I am trying to pick up my life again..!<br /><br />And I would like to congratulate you with your 15th anniversary!! So wonderful!<br /><br />I've written about Nina Simone a while ago, funny to see now that a lot of people love her songs. I know the song you are talking about and you're right, it really is beautiful.<br /><br /><br />Love,<br />NancyNancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12864974001975530293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782891856385197722.post-54401024947753231612011-08-25T10:40:53.072-07:002011-08-25T10:40:53.072-07:00beautiful post. and i completely agree. sometimes ...beautiful post. and i completely agree. sometimes the thought of loosing ken stops me dead in my tracks! the other night i had a nightmare we didnt get married and was mopey all day long. :) congratulations on 15 years--what an amazing thing to love someone for so long and still treasure them.Kimia Klinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09628325659767593169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782891856385197722.post-5266467108312772482011-08-25T07:20:53.489-07:002011-08-25T07:20:53.489-07:00Congratulations, lady!

I'm (as always) missing my other half right now, and even more by reading this. Haha not to mention I youtubed the song.. and now I'm all emotional. (I've actually been this way all day.)<br /><br />Congrats on a milestone! I often think of what I would do without my man too, and the thoughts usually lead to fighting back tears. <br /><br />P.S. I loved that little piece of writing between the baby and dog. So poetic/cute/touching, simply creative! You are so talented my friend!Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14259697740026862466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782891856385197722.post-59210026515682049502011-08-24T14:55:13.626-07:002011-08-24T14:55:13.626-07:00Congratulations!

I also love Nina Simone and Billie Holiday for love songs. Those ladies give me the chills. <br />We are lucky indeed to have love in our lives and men who are steadfast. This week I had a patient, a 25 year old guy who has stage 3 cancer. He is also a newlywed. I've been thinking a lot about how every day with the one you love is a gift. Some couples have their time cut cruelly short!<br />Hope you have a great anniversary . xoEmilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02391696139649869078noreply@blogger.com
