Before Dawn/Before Midnight
September 20th, 2011
Before
dawn, my husband
leaves
me with a beautiful
poem he
has posted today
on his
blog for all to see.
It is
our 8th anniversary,
which,
sadly, he is spending
with
co-workers in New York.
Before dusk,
he sends me
an invitation
to dine with him
at Rooneys,
our favorite high-
end restaurant,
on Friday night.
Before
this day ends, I have a little
surprise
for him too—a DVD that
neither
of us has ever seen, filmed
by John,
my brother, on our wedding
day. It’s now cued up, ready to play—
a
recording of the vows we made to each
other,
the words we wrote to give meaning
to our
commitment to each other for that
which was
to come, in a future we were yet
to see—a
future with more happiness
than we
could have imagined that day—
yet,
looking back now from here—
there
it is, brimming right out
of the
screen—like a beacon—
so
bright, so full, rich and bright.

And as beautiful as she was then, she is more so now.
Thanks for more Elaine. My heart swells when I read these.
