I'm supposed to be camping on the Mississippi River this weekend with my husband. We've had the trip planned for months and months and months. In fact, I remember seeing the snow fall as I wrote it on the calendar. My brother and sister of the heart, Carrie and Seth, have gotten married and they're having a big ol' bash to celebrate.
Because of some circumstances that are totally out of our hands, we are unable to go. Let me tell you, I'm a little more than annoyed with this. But, that's another post entirely.
What would I tell them if I were there?
Maybe the old standby, "May the best of your todays be the worst of your tomorrows." I say that to all newlyweds (with the exception of one couple for whom I actually was too drunk to get it right and said it backwards - HA, what a blessing that was!)
Maybe I would say, "Remember that each day is a choice. You choose to be together every single day - there is no certainty in life. Love each other every day as if it is your last."
Maybe I would say what was once said to me and Brian, "Give me the bong and go get a room!"
Who knows. I'm not there, so I don't have to decide.
Carrie, Seth, Maizie Moon - I love you all. You have touched my life, my heart, and my soul. Your togetherness brings others together. Your love makes others love. Your light shines on us all. Congratulations!
