After 28 years of marriage, I almost threw in the towel.
We were growing apart.... Nothing in common. Going our separate ways.
We talked. I wrote letters. I sat back and watched.....
my motto.... (Actions, No Words)
He quit drinking..... He told me I could leave, he wasn't leaving me....
We went on a little 3 night get away, off grid.....
we smoked a lot..... did some shrooms..... and we connected..... It was magical... I danced around the fire pit at night.... connecting to that inner younger person.... The person that I was when we met.... way back in 1986.....
On the way home we stopped to let the dog go to the bathroom..... I found a Monarch caterpillar.... I brought it home, we both saw it turning inside out, into the cocoon... I watched it, and captured it coming out of the cocoon too........
I believe that the Monarch was a message to us...... that our love was going to be transformed.
We just celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary.... I'm so glad I stuck it out...... We are very happy now..... Not that things don't suck once and a while, but, it's ok......
Here is our song........
They Love Each Other/ Jerry Garcia Band
