Written in Stone

Novemeber 29, 2010
August 31 to November 29, such a short time in ordinary time, under ordinary circumstances...but these are not even close to ordinary. Extraordinary is what makes these short weeks change not just a heart but a life. Extraordinary is what leaves me feeling breathless when you wrap your arms around me and pull me close; extraordinary is what leaves me smiling long after I hang up the phone; extraordinary is what makes my heart think the thoughts it now thinks and dream the dreams it has dreamed since the very first time I saw your face and actually believe they will come true. Extraordinary is this, this moment, right now, these past few months and weeks that have changed everything. I think about you and every time I do, everything inside me glows. I am alive and somehow I think I haven't been for a very long time, the spark has been in me, waiting, pleading, praying for the second chance to become a roaring flame. You have done that. This second chance that so easily could have never come has done that. I carry you with me always, every moment, even in my dreams. It grows too, grows to enormous proportions and I feel I am being swallowed whole by it, but I don't mind, I welcome it. This is what it is supposed to be, this is how it is supposed to feel. I can't say I am not afraid, sometimes I am...life can be funny...but I have already jumped over the edge, knowing fully what I was doing and I wouldn't turn back now even if I could! You move me, I don't think anyone ever has. I reach for you and it amazes me to find you are there. I cannot stop thinking about all these things that lay ahead for us...and I am not just speaking of those days ahead of us, I am speaking of months and years because you move me like that. You make me think about years, not days. I can't think that is wrong. I can't think what I feel, this pounding, screaming inside is wrong. I will never think that "we" are wrong. I love you!

You have always had such a way with words Nannie, I wish I could express myself as eloquently as you do. Know that I feel the same. I find myself looking way past tomorrow. I see us growing old together just as clearly as I see the love in your eyes.
