Wedding Anniversary - 19 years today.
How much can one person love another?
A universe exists in time and space,
Placed within the boundaries of one place,
Pressed into a point far from forever.
Yet love comes to us from some quite other,
Visiting our sorrow with its grace,
Answering our rage with its embrace,
Lending us the wisdom of its wonder.
Even as I say this, you are there,
Nestling in where need undoes the day,
Taking up your small infinity.
Inside my window, you are everywhere,
Nor could I tell how much such love might weigh,
Even were it salient as the sea.

P and I have been married 19 years today. We have had our difficult times, we have experienced sorrow and distance and despair as well as fun, laughter and the birth of our two beautiful daughters. I know that I am very, very lucky to be married to one of the most honourable, honest and kind men in the world. Nineteen years has taught me to be grateful for all that my husband IS and all that he DOES and not to fret about stuff that does not really matter in the long run! (I never said I was a fast learner!) He surprised me with this beautiful Radley bag :) I was speechless...well, almost!!
On Friday P won a photography exhibition on the Wirral (Wirral Spring Exhibition of Art and Photography ) His beautiful photo of New Brighton Lighthouse was chosen from over 140 entries. I'm so proud of him :)
Tonight we are taking the girls to see the musical "Chicago" to celebrate our anniversary.
OLLIE Thanks to all the kind blog friends who expressed wishes for Ollie's eventual return. He was in fact run over on Easter Sunday - the silly boy was fast asleep under a car when it drove away.In some ways it's better to know what happened than to be always hoping he might come back. Your nice comments made me smile. He was a funny and playful cat and I am remembering that by looking at his photos :)
