“I love you because the entire universe conspired to help me find you.”
—Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
Forty six years have passed us by.
Forty six years of we, not I.
Forty six years we shared our lives.
Forty six years as man and wife (plus three living together)
Forty six years of love and joy
Forty six years, one loving girl and boy
Forty six years two precious granddaughters to love and adore
Here’s wishing you and I many years more.
Dearest Cecile, according to many surveys, couples who travel together
find more satisfaction in their lives. They experience better communication and have longer-lasting relationships.
Shared experiences have deepened our connection with one another. After each trip the everyday world
we live in is subtly changed. We have been blessed to travel world wide and have passed on that love
of travel to our kids, Jason and Michelle. We linger over memories of our adventures, including overcoming
the ordinary and sometimes extraordinary obstacles that can complicate any kind of travel. In the end
we celebrate the planning and scheduling that made the trip happen and the exhilaration of giving into
the impulse to escape whether with family or friends or just ourselves. I think you’ll agree that traveling with
the one(s) we love sparks the imagination and helps us remember one of the things that drew us to one another in the first place. I am looking forward to another destination, placing another pin on the map, and more photos to relive the experience. In the meantime, enjoy the photos of our travels as a couple that accompany this post.
Happy Anniversary, my love!
