Ten Years Today

Happy Anniversary! We have been married TEN years, and it has flown by.

During my primary meeting in the morning my phone rang. We had a rushed morning, so I thought it was Lincoln calling to wish me a Happy Anniversary. It was Lincoln, but he was calling for a different reason.

Lincoln was hit on the freeway by a BMW today. He is okay, the car isn't bad. It was the company car so they are taking care of it. I am worried about his back, because last time he was really hurt. I hope he doesn't have to go through all that pain again. So far he feels just fine.

This accident got me thinking. I didn't kiss him goodbye today. He needed help moving cars to get his out of the driveway. I was still in my pajamas holding a baby, and I needed to jump in the shower or I would be late (later, I should say). He moved all three cars by himself, and took the trash to the curb.

Oh, what if that was our last morning? My heart hurts just to think about it. I am so grateful that I have tomorrow, and the next day and the next day to try to do better. I want him to know I am grateful, and happy, and so in love with him. We worry about dumb things, and if our lives were shortened, those dumb things wouldn't matter. The trash, the long grass, the socks under the couch....WHO CARES?! Can you imagine finding a dusty sock of a loving husband who left this earth too quickly? I am glad he is okay, and maybe my thoughts are getting ahead of myself. I just wanted to remind myself to enjoy the little things, to find a little bliss moments everyday, and to give Lincoln a kiss before he goes to work.
