As Craig and I prepare to celebrate thirty years of marriage, we decided to take a vacation to a great little spot in Costa Rica. While my adult son is at home throwing endless parties. We are enjoying beautiful weather, tropical drinks, sitting around with no schedule and staring at the moonlight. As we share this time I think back to all those years gone by and the little things that make our relationship so special. It was like yesterday.
We first held hands on our first date in the back of a friend's car. It felt exciting, it felt right.
Our first kiss, the first time we said "I love you," the laughing and talking on the phone for hours, never running out of things to say. It was like yesterday.
Thirty years sounds like a long time. To couples who couldn't get there it is. The hard times, the doubt, the pain, through sickness and health, through poverty and prosperity. What makes us get to this point and not others? Compromise? The grace of God? I don't know. All, I know is its still special. I still feel that fire when he holds my hand or steals a kiss. It's still feels like yesterday.
