Due to opposing work schedules, I won't be able to spend many waking hours with my wife on our eighth anniversary, today. This morning, as I was realizing this fact out loud, Danielle looked at me and shrugged. "We do get to spend every other day together and that's pretty great." I had nothing to say to rebut, refute or enhance this sentiment. Amidst the years of being able to be as free as we please, the years when we've been restricted, be it due to medical, financial, or family hurdles, have been the ones for which we've had the greatest appreciation for each other. She's the exact kind of person you would hope enjoys your presence as much as you cherish theirs. Like two trees growing entwined, we ground, support and nourish each other. I love her to smithereens.

Tomorrow night!
