At the time that I wrote this piece, growing old with someone
happily seemed like such a distant daydream. In 1998 my
grandparents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. Soon
after I found myself realizing my marriage wasn't ever going to
reach that point or goal. Gold is precious. Love is even moreso.
Its no wonder that a 50th wedding anniversary is golden, what
is more priceless? Happily I can say, I see that lifetime
committment in a new light. And I look forward to someday putting
this piece on my wedding announcments.
