We Go Way Back

We met in 1973.

Freshman year at the University of Albany.

A year later we were dating.

Something inside of us knew that this was it.

...it felt so right...

 ~

Ann's prompt to write a love letter {for June's marriage theme} had me browsing through old love letters Chris and I sent each other

...way back...

This is part of a letter that Chris wrote to me spring semester '76 while I was studying in France.

The photo was taken in the Bio {Biology} garden in 1977.

The trees were very young...as were we.

{I was 21}

This spring, Chris and I took a walk on campus, as we sometimes do.

It's a beautiful campus with flowers, fountains, memories.

I was taken aback when I rounded the corner to see the science buildings

...the Bio garden was in full bloom...

Dear Chris,

This garden has flourished and become more stunning over the years.

The magnolia trees and rhododendrons are glorious.

How wonderful is the memory ~ the connection

of us and this beautiful place.

...my sweet and gentle man...

We go way back,

and it still feels so right.

~ After almost 32 years, I can say with the whole of my heart ~

I love spending time you
I love walking with you
I love you! 

Wednesdays in June, Ann is encouraging us to write about marriage.
