As cheesy as it this is to admit, I heard Toto's Africa more than once on the radio this week. And, I left it on each time. Their lyrics, "there's not a lot that can drag me away from you...nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do" really struck me. Yes, cheesy, I know.
Seriously, though, I do not want anything to take us away from one another. I know that no one else will ever complete my life the way that you do. We have learned about each other's quirks over the last almost 15 years. I can live with yours and hope you have accepted mine. I know I've had some times where things I've done haven't been right for us, but I have learned from my mistakes and have changed my ways. I am wholeheartedly committed to continuing our life together. I am also wise enough to know that we have done an awful lot of things right in our time together. We would not have come so far if we were interested in making everything easy. We know how much reward there is in choosing the difficult path. We know that everyone and every relationship is, at least slightly, different from another. We know how much work it takes to keep a relationship strong and healthy, so that it and those involved can grow and change over time. Family, friends, and others will always try to monopolize our time and energy. I think it's just a selfish part of human nature. I promise you that I will not let anyone stand between us or try to pull us away from each other. I will stand strong, as one, with you. Always.
