These last two months have been rough on on us, for we suffered a great loss. As saddening as this time had been it has brought us even closer as husband and wife. We have supported each other through sadness and grief and have continued to learn more about each other. Through these last couple months I have remembered our vows on several occasions, reminding myself of the words we promised each other and of course I get a lump in my throat. I remember how I felt on our wedding day, excited and on top of the world, like nothing could ever make us feel sad. On our large matted engagement photo a good friend wrote, 'Always remember how you feel today.' and I remind myself to do that as much as possible. Everyday is not going to be the best day and I am sure there will be many more bumpy roads ahead but I am 110% confident that Alex and I will get through. Those vows we took in front of God, our family and friends keep us accountable to each other and it is such a great feeling knowing we will always be here for each other.
I have even more respect for our parents (O'Brien's - 45 years and Adame's 31 years) and all other married couples who have stood the test of time, plus children and careers. I feel re-charged right now, like I've been through my first day at college again and now that I've made it through I know I can keep going and I can graduate. Suddenly I'm humming Captain and Tennille's - Love Will Keep us Together.
I am so proud of my husband, proud of us. Proud of what we have become in just four short years. Neither of us will ever forget our loss and this path we had to cross but we are excited for the future. We remain in God's hands and trust that He know what is best. Again, a comforting feeling.
“One day at a time--this is enough. Do not look back and grieve over the past for it is gone; and do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful it will be worth remembering." -Unknown
