This is a weekend of anniversaries for us. Tom and I have always celebrated the anniversary of our first date, October 22, as well as our wedding anniversary, and yesterday was a big one for us.

Today is Suzanne’s birthday. She came within two hours of being born on “our day.” And while back then I was rooting for this to happen, now I’m glad she waited. It’s good that October 22 is just for us.

It’s easy to forget — yet wonderful to remember — that our romance, friendship and love are the heart of it all.
