Saturday morning I woke up to a beautiful tray in my bed with coffee in a thermos and 2 dozen red and white roses with a handmade handwritten card that starts with "No one shall separate the hearts joined by God...a threefold cord is not quickly broken" Ecclesiastes 4:12 ....and then it turns into a beautiful love letter to me written by my husband. It was our 11 year wedding anniversary and plans to celebrate the day were moved to the back burner because of what's been going on this past week. We agreed days ago that we would celebrate when things settled down. We had a house full of guests, trying to decide if the girls would make it to camp and I still have more tests that need to be done at the hospital. The lack of hoopla made this gesture all the more sincere and meaningful to me. I can't believe it's been 11 years already. Marriage is a beautiful dance that has it's own rhythm. Sometimes toes are stepped on and sometimes it's pretty graceful and it always looks pretty when you were a nice dress, but what we have learned together is that ripped jeans and tee shirts, dancing barefoot in the kitchen is much more our style. I'm so glad my dance card is filled. I'll take a handwritten love letter over a store bought gift any day.
