He doesn't write as well in English as he does in his native language, but we did something similar when he was out of the country for a few weeks--writing each other letters. He even sent his through the mail, which felt so old-fashioned, but I loved getting them in the mail.<br /><br />"I wanted him to feel like home was me." I loved this, and I hope you both still feel that way 60 years from now!Darylhttp://soonafamily.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544913458028415917.post-67867345409688358582012-06-02T00:55:01.288-04:002012-06-02T00:55:01.288-04:00What a beautiful post to commemorate a beautiful c...What a beautiful post to commemorate a beautiful commitment. You're right, ten years is a long time, and no time at all.<br /><br />My partner can also write and I love that about him too. We wrote an article together for ggmg magazine, about fatherhood and it came in the mail today. I am so much more proud of that piece than anything I ever wrote by myself. I'm so proud my partner can write, that he can think reflectively about fatherhood, that he can articulate his feelings so poignantly. I can't wait to share the piece on my blog, but I'm waiting until Father's Day... ;)<br /><br />Milestones are, well, they are milestones. And for a reason. I wonder if we'll make it ten years in any better shape than resignation. The truth is marriage takes work, hard work. It's exhausting but, like so many things that require a ton of effort, worth it. At least, I hope it is worth it. It's what I like to believe anyway.<br /><br />Happy Anniversary.Esperanzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12375150088333673843noreply@blogger.com
