For Pam

I’m so glad we made it this far
Along the cobblestones and the jagged edges
Of life’s challenges;
We’ve been tested
You and I
Not against each other
But against all that life could throw
At us—
We survived
We thrived
We arrived
Intact and more.

Thru it all
You have been the one
Who steadied my compass
Never doubted my love
Always gave me more
Hope and joy
Than I could ever find
Anywhere else;
And one day we
Will find our place
Out there
Where the angels
Call home
A journey ended
Complete
And still lighting the way
For each other.

"I'm so glad we made it this far."
Beautiful sentiments, Ed. Am, however, jealous because being 67 with a 3 year old daughter...well, odds are that I will not make it that far. Lucky you; lucky Pam!

Perfect. You can't ask for anything more than finding the one who will share life's ups and downs with you.

You've taken that precious moment to reflect on a piece of your life that is perhaps the anchor to your struggle to live in a society that continues to loose its way. Yes... thoughts like this not only comfort the writer, but so too the reader. Thank you for posting.
