Dear J-
One of the things they gave us at our wedding was a set of wooden ducks, the reasoning being that they mate for life. We’ve spent the weekend together for the first time, well, since we went to San Jose a couple of weeks ago — but before that, theVet works half a day on Saturdays, and I have a sneaking suspicion that I’m in for Sunday work before much longer. The reality is that we spend time in different orbits most of the waking day, and at times it feels strange coming home and realizing how lucky I am.
Sometimes, together, we can tell what’s happening through the set of a jaw, or the snap of a snarky phrase: we struggle to suppress annoyance at the smallest things, we more than often fail, and we’ve still managed to fight for every dream together. It’s funny how synchronized our actions are at times; the silent communications keep us moving on, two pairs of hands working to make both our lives easier.
Mike
