still holding on…

written by Jana December 22, 2008

us, originally uploaded by pilgrimgirl.

Our first date was just over 19 years ago (December 14, 1989). John and I have grown up with each other, having spent more than half of our lives together now, in many ways seeming more like siblings than lovers…Sometimes I wonder what I saw in him then that told me he would continue to hold my attention even after all these years.

I’ve loved him as I have loved no other. It is he who taught me the true meaning of hope.

I have been overcome by the beauty and richness of our life together, those early mornings setting out, those evenings gleaming with rivers and lakes below us, still holding the last light.

Catching up on posts – from the Sontag quote about writers as husbands or lovers to today’s – has made me a little blurry-eyed, too. As someone on the verge of marriage (less than five months from now), I look at your faces and hope my future husband and I can enjoy each other this way, for as long (and longer). Thank you, and Merry Christmas.

As I’m sure you already know, it’s _work_ to make a relationship strong. But the rewards can be tremendous. Good luck to you!! :)

About Me

About Me

Hi there friend, and welcome to my blog. I started writing on the internet more than fifteen years ago. Since then I've started and finished a PhD program, left the Mormon church and became a Quaker, got divorced, remarried, found full-time work in academia, took up rock climbing and outrigger canoeing, and traveled across the globe (China! Belgium! Italy! Chicago! Montana! Portland! Gettysburg! and oh-so-many points in-between). This blog is eclectic and random--it has poetry and cooking and books. And cats. And flowers. And the ocean (my ocean). But in that sense it's a good reflection of me and my wide-ranging, far-reaching, magpie curiosity.
