Today is my in-laws 36th wedding anniversary. What a wonderful milestone. I can’t even imagine the feeling. For me a year has flown by since I have been married but at the same time it feels like forever. I wonder what 36 years will feel like? Will Frank still take off his shoes in the front room and not put them away? Will he still be weighing himself five times a day? Will he still stay up an hour after I fall asleep? Will he still laugh at my corny jokes? Will ‘enough’ still mean enough? Will we still kiss three times before bed and kiss once at the door? I don’t know what tomorrow will bring but I can’t wait to have that feeling someday of celebrating 36 years.
My mother-in-law said the most poetic thing tonight at dinner. ‘Wayne and I have lived our vows, we’ve been together through sickness with my diabetes, through our healthy days when Wayne didn’t have diabetes, through richer days when Wayne had a good job to our poorer days when Wayne was unemployed, to better days like today and to worse days (as she winks at Wayne) and now til’ death do us part.’ It’s amazing how true the vows we say on our wedding come true. In 36 years what Joanne has said is true; they have lived all their vows. But in a year I feel like we have lived ours as well. Here is too many more years.
