For better, for worse, for scarier, for wearier, for happier, for....
Today is our eighteenth wedding anniversary. In Hebrew, the letters for the word "life" add up to "18." So I figure this is a year to celebrate our life as a couple. We have shared and savored the "better" part of our vows—our children, our first house, family gatherings, good friends, a caring community, fun vacations, work promotions, graduations, a bar (Max) and a bat (Sabrina) mitzvah, our children's inchstones, milestones, successes and accomplishments and so much more. We have weathered "worse"—finding out our firstborn had a stroke, the passing of loved ones, health scares, operations, layoffs, natural disasters, political nightmares.
We have been together...

For calmer
For moodier
For gloomier

And especially for stronger.

ReplyDeleteYou and your husband have been married for eighteen years?! Wow, wow, wow!! Congrats, Friend!! ;-D
Do you know what the statistics are for divorce in married couples who have a child with disabilities/special needs? I don’t. Do you know what the statistics are for divorce in married couples who entrust their children into the hands of a surgeon? I am guessing not good. The very fact that you and your husband are celebrating eighteen years together is most definitely a cosmic milestone!! ;)
Peace out Mary Lou
For everything. Happy Anniversary.
