Most don’t make it. And of those who do, some are hanging in there for no other reason than not knowing where else to go. Those poor souls aren’t happy, mind you. They’re just, well, staying together.
And then there are a few rare beings who still make each other laugh. Who still enjoy one another’s company. Who still smile. It isn’t that they’ve never felt the sting of life’s pitfalls. It’s just that they’ve chosen to ride out the rough waves. They’ve learned to appreciate the good times, and to ask for more.
Here’s to two such souls. Their example is a blessing. Long may we continue to learn from their love.
