TT: Grow Old With Me…The Best is Yet to Be.

Jump to Comments

Dear Puppy,

Can you believe it’s already been nine years?  I feel like the baby was born yesterday…and the vows were maybe three days before that.   Hasn’t it been fun?  And, challenging?  I understand why the Church teaches marriage is a sacrament, cause there certainly have been a few times we’ve had to fall back on that to make it through a rough spot.  I never really doubted us for very long, because when you are married to your best friend, friendship will see you through. 

And, who else would I have had pinch me mercilessly while 89 year old Father Joubert discussed the “marriage act” while shuffling through the sacristy in house shoes during PreCana (in order to avoid falling on the floor in hysterical laughter)??  Who else would agree to me taking off work to finish reading a book that was that good? Who else would comfort me the day we found out about my PCOS and say, “We can adopt.  There is a child out there for us.  A baby doesn’t have to come from us to be ours.”  Then, when we did get pregnant light up from head to toe?  Who else would yell at a drunk and puking me, “You idiot!  The toilet.  The toilet.  That’s a wicker trashcan!!” and then be nice enough to clean up the mess?  Only you, dear.

I love you oodles & boodles,

The Moof
