The story of us began on a park bench overlooking the Mississippi River. It was sealed with a kiss on the forehead later that same afternoon. A tender moment that is locked in my memory forever.

When I met my Sweet Hubby I thought true love was a fairy tale. He shows me every day how very real it is.

It's small moments, day after day of kindness and affection. It's not saying things you will later regret and saying the things you will regret not saying. It's wanting nothing more than to just be together where ever that may be and giving each other space to be who we really are.

It's being able to talk about anything and being able to not talk at all. It's laughing until we cry and crying until we laugh. It's being the best parents we can be but putting our marriage first. It's having each others back no matter what and feeling safe in the knowledge that this is forever.

It's not perfect but it's as close as I could imagine. It's the happy ending I didn't dare dream of.
