THIS IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! JUST TODAY I READ AN ARTICLE ON-LINE ABOUT A WOMAN WHO HAS BEEN MARRIED FOR SEVERAL YEARS, AND SHE SAID HOW SOMETHING SHE FOUND IN HER HUSBAND'S WALLET IS, FOR HER, 'INSTRUMENTAL' IN ENCOURAGING HER TO DO EVERYTHING SHE CAN TO KEEP HER MARRIAGE TOGETHER. SHE ADMITTED IT WAS NOT EASY. BUT HER HUSBAND, IS SO UNLIKE HER AND DOESN'T KEEP CLUTTER IN HIS WALLET, SO, SHE WAS TOUCHED BEYOND MEASURE WHEN SHE FOUND THAT HE HAD KEPT THE PIECE OF PAPER THAT SHE GAVE HIM WITH HER TELEPHONE NUMBER FROM THE VERY FIRST TIME THEY MET. CAN YOU IMAGINE? THAT LITTLE SLIP OF PAPER 'MEANS', NOT MEANT, BUT 'MEANS' THAT MUCH TO HIM. FOR HER IT MEANT THAT HE CHERISHED THEIR BEGINNING AND, IN SPITE OF THE PROBLEMS AND UPHEAVELS THEY HAVE BEEN THROUGH(CHILDREN, BILLS, MORTGAGES, ETC), HE STILL REMEMBERS AND TREASURES THEIR FIRST MOMENTS...AND SO DOES SHE. THAT PIECE OF PAPERS REMINDED HER THAT THOUGH IT GETS HARD...IT'S WORTH IT. THANKS FOR SHARING THIS, MYSTIC, I ALWAYS GLORY IN THOSE WHO MANAGED TO ACHIEVE...WHAT I COULDN'T. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS.

Wonderfully told in a sweet, caring way. I loved this.

Beautiful sentiments.

For those that have had a love of a lifetime, this poem rings so true. Thanks for sharing your feelings about what it is like to have such a bond for life.

For many it's an indelible memory: 'the first day we met'. It is for me. Knowing, too, that today is the first day of the rest of your life can change ones focus as well. Finding the emotional and spiritual balance here might make every day feel like the first day. A worthwhile goal. A nice insight, V. Peace... r
