Bridges

Thank God I am with this man, this wonderful human being who is able to ride along with me through up and down and inside out and through and back again. Never have I met someone so willing to talk about their fears, to hear mine, and when all the negativities and dark sides have been acknowledged, to move forward in spite of them. Together. It's a lot more involved and painful and difficult than that, but the end result has always been a joint effort, and I pray every day that he'll still be there the next.

Some people go through their entire lives sincerely believing that they will forever be alone. I am so lucky to be the one person who has a chance in hell of proving him wrong. And if you think I won't be standing over his gravesite one day, whispering through tears, I told you so, then you, like him, would be wrong.

People ask me, when they see the ring on my finger, if we're married.

I marry that man every day of my life.
