Coincidentally January 23 is the day that we celebrate 20 years of being together. We took a very serious vow to each other on January 23, 1988, that we would only see each other, foresake all others, and stick with each other trhough sickness and health. It was a wonderful intimate little time, and we both took that vow seriously. It may not be legal, it may not have been in a church, but for us it was what we needed. It has seen us still together 20 years later when many of our friends that were married legally, or in the church have been divorced and married a number of times.
We have been together through life altering car accidents, losses of jobs, long distance relationships, career changes, moves, family crises, friends in crises, the birth of two children. We endure. We love. We fight. We Laugh, We Love. We were each others friend long before we were ever involved intimately. IN fact we were not intimate for long after others thought we were. The friendship held us together through all other adversity. So today my love 20 years, and I wish you were still the man I fell in love with, but you are not, and I am not the one you fell in love with either, however we have changed and grown, we have stood by each other. And for that it is love.
