*Sappy alert - since I use this blog as a bit of a journal too be forewarned this post is a bit sappy.*

When we were dating DJ bought me this precious poem on a decorative hanger. It has hung in everyplace we have called home. I haven't taken the opportunity to re-read it often, but when I pass it I smile remembering the cold snowy day he bought it for me. Tonight while I was in my office missing him I looked up and took a moment to re-read it and the words struck me in a deeper way then they had before, especially since my definition of Eternity has changed over the past year. The words are so simplistic, but it really reminds me of how he has always been able to remain in the moment of our love instead of trying to plan tomorrow like I always try to. Through all of our trials from zeroing our checking account each month to infertility he always remains right there in the moment to keep me grounded and feeling safe. I'm so blessed. He may not be a rich man, but I could never find another in the entire universe who could love me as deeply as he does; and I'll take that over any worldly offering any day.

My thoughts are always of you

And I wish I knew a way

To tell you of my love for you

In the words that lovers say.

Our lives are yet before us

And just knowing that you care

Makes each say a little brighter

For we have so much to share.

Our love is so much deeper

Than what the world can see

It's just between the two of us

Partly you and partly me.

I know through all Eternity

Whenever trumpets sound

That mighty book is opened

And there our names are found.

And on those timeless pages

Live the memories of those years

Of our love that lives forever

Signed with happy tears.

I shall treasure each tomorrow

That I may share with you,

For I know through all Eternity

That I will be there too.
