Brick by Brick

When I was growing up, I hardly knew of anyone that was divorced. Now I hardly know anyone that isn't.

Linda and Robin have been together for thirty two years. Consider what that takes - over three decades of committment, loyalty, understanding, respect, making space, working out priorities and differences. Deciding all the small details of living together as well as the major decisions, planning time and meals and vacations, remembering
to be considerate, courteous, learning to honor each other. Making time for each other separately and together, keeping love alive and vital. Working through the disagreements and hurt feelings, discovering what works and what doesn't. Learning to live with another person is no small thing and love is only the threshold - you can't get there without it, but once inside, it's nowhere near enough.

Brick by patient brick, they have built a life - despite the odds. It's sustained with love.

Happy Anniversary.
