Isn't it funny, to some the idea of turning 44 is awful while there are those of us who wouldn't mind being that young again. Well, today is our 44th wedding anniversary and it's quite scary how quickly the years have flown by and what wonderful (and not so wonderful) things have happened in that time.
Do I have words of wisdom for those embarking on a lifetime together? No way! Probably the two most important things in our lives have no training, a few boring manuals for sure but basically we go into marriage and parenthood in total ignorance. That's how it should be, we each carve out our life and if you're lucky enough to find your soul mate, so much the better.
I've seen good marriages fall apart and feuding couples stay together forever. There's no foolproof recipe for success and let's face it, a calm and uneventful life together could become a little dreary.
So, while I cherish the love of my life and our wonderful family, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we have at least another 26 years together because I'm really enjoying the ride.
Oh sweet child of mine...
