I think when we said, “ let’s grow old together” we didn’t fully understand what that meant.

The upheavals and obstacles from carelessness and life’s dirty little tricks.

The changes in our bodies, our minds and the world around us.

The rare but dark times when we tried to tear each other apart — something unseen, kept pulling us together.

So this is the golden years…

Our bodies are definitely of a cheaper alloy, showing rust and decay. But the love and the precious memories we have made together… they shine golden.
