Pats on backs

Last 10 years haven't been easy on our marriage-  I'll admit that.

Today I started a new book and in the first pages I was mesmerized by a quote....this particular mother had kept secrets of her early life from her kids and with death facing her she said:

"I thought it was what I wanted: to be loved and admired.  Now I think perhaps I'd like to be known."

Ha.  My kids knowwwwww me.  Maybe too well.  My husband too.   No secrets. 

The kids know even when mike and I aren't getting along so well.  But we are sure to say we aren't giving up on US! 

And the last 10 years stretched US a little too much.  A little too thin ... and yet when I looked back I saw so much LOVE between that guy and I .
