“So it's not gonna be easy.
It's going to be really hard; we're gonna
have to work at this everyday, but I want to do that because I want you.
I want all of you, forever, everyday.
You and me... everyday.”
-Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook
I’ve been thinking about these two kids all month. It’s hard
to put into words how I feel about them. Despite their age & against all odds, today
they will have been married twenty-five years.
Yeah. If you haven’t already guessed it, these two babies
are me & my Chuck.
When I look at this picture I can’t help but wonder if we even
had a clue what saying “I do” meant or what that commitment would create. Oh we did have youthful hopes & dreams for
our life together but I doubt we could have ever imagined the life we have for
ourselves.
As far as I can remember, we knew just two things.
We loved
each other to the point of distraction & we wanted to spend the rest of our
lives together.
So here we are twenty-five years later.
Three beautiful children.
A beautiful daughter-in-law.
& a daughter-in-law to be.
A life.
Somehow in this moment money doesn’t matter, our jobs don’t
matter, our stuff doesn’t matter…
what does matter is the legacy of love we are leaving our children & our grandchildren.
what does matter is the legacy of love we are leaving our children & our grandchildren.
We love, because He first loved us.
-1 John 4:19
