I woke up to this surprise on the porch!
Fifteen years ago I didn't know much:
I didn't know we'd be spending this day celebrating on a beach in the Philippines.
I didn't know I'd give birth to a little boy in a few years time.
I didn't know we'd have a son from Liberia.
I didn't know we'd have a daughter from India.
I didn't know you were an abolitionist.
I didn't know I was a writer.
I just knew that life with you felt better than life without you.
I was right.
Happy anniversary to a husband I adore and am so incredibly proud of--
I love you, Steve.
"I know what it is to live entirely for and with what I love best on
earth. I hold myself supremely blessed -- blessed beyond what language can
express;
because I am my husband's life as fully as he is mine."
~ Charlotte Bronte, Jane Eyre
