Our first visit to Jekyll Island fooled us. A storm had kicked up the waves and we believed we'd found our happiest beach destination. If you know the Georgia Coast, this is quite a wrong impression. It's usually brown and brackish, unpleasant waters with few waves. The view is beautiful, the culture and conveniences delightful, but not a crashing gulf or southern Atlantic tide.
Fortunately, we are not married to our vacation destinations, AND we are to our spouses. Eric & I were late to our generation's expectation of age-of-marriage. 30 & 31, some of our family believed we never would, but we did. We tied the knot, 3 months after being engaged. We were both gun-shy but I knew he was a good man. My dad did too. They had a proverbial man-to-man and he told my Dad he would be faithful and always take care of me. Dad had good intuition.

Eric kept his word. We, together, have kept our vows, commitment to stay together when the path always didn't seem clear. He has been generous with his gifts and talents and made our world one that is enviable. I am forever grateful our paths crossed and intertwined the way they did.
Here's to however many more years we are allowed to share. Be mine, forever, sweet man. I'm here for it.
