Even on your 20th Anniversary one can get cranky. We don't relax. We are in constant motion. Every moment needed to survive. For a farmer there is work and there is sleep. And when the harvest is in or the sun too hot. . . There is a season for rest. But not much. So when 20 years come and we take a break. There is bound to be bumps in the road. But we work them out. . . it's the way of marriage. It is giving and giving more. It is loving better, being patient and kind. Keeping NO record of wrongs.

So many dreams. Such a future before them. And even though you know she is arriving by tractor. . . When you hear the engine start, your heart, for a moment wishes she were young ... View Post
The Beat of the Heart
Today is my parents Anniversary. It would have been their 47th. Last year we celebrated their 46th in the hospital at Brigham and Woman's. The doctors brought them a cake. . . honoring their years together as mom's life slipped slowly from her. . .I have said before, my parents relationship was NOT perfect. They fought, said hurtful things, threatened to break that vow they had once cherished. Yet, they stuck it out. They persevered. And it became beautiful.
