I was browsing for a wedding anniversary card at the store yesterday; at least I did not forget. The more I looked the more I could not find the right card until i noticed another man about my age looking as well. Our eyes met and I said,"You too huh?'
"Yea, I just drove home and noticed one of those balloon thingies tied to the front door, then I kept going. And here I am."
"How many years for you?" I commented.
"Ten years. But at least I remembered," he said sheepishly. " On our eighth, both of us totally forgot until our friends, who were in our wedding, started calling asking us what our plans were," he said.
"34 for us," I said, expecting the usual wide eyed look of approval or interest.
"Congratulations," we both said as we shook hands.
Small conversation with another man looking for similar reasons helped me pick my card. It did not matter which card I picked as much as my intent to share a wonderful day with this person who has endured me for all of these years. That is no small thing!
Happy Anniversary My Dear!
