Number 9
Nine years is a long time. Things change. Children are born. Loved ones pass. Moving boxes are packed, unpacked and then packed again. Nine years is a long time, but the montage is quick when you get to the end. The soundtrack is exactly what you would have picked.
We were married in Tucson on a warm spring day with beer in our bellies and friends on our arms. The memories are as clear as they are blurry.
In nine years we have been many places and many things. We have fought battles, faced demons, sighed relief and laughed deeply. We have walked in the sunshine and danced beneath the moonlight. We have also done things not so cliché.
There are moments cherished and those lost forever. They are the makings of a love story and the stepping stones to happily ever after.
Today is our nine year anniversary. We’re only getting started.







Happiness to both of you always. K
Thank you, my friend.
Beautiful. Happy Anniversary to a couple of awesome people! And you are right…it is just the beginning.
Thank you for your support
What a lovely love poem about a lovely couple.
It does not seem like 9 years, how quickly time moves forward.
Happy Anniversary
Did you just call me old?
Happily ever after to you both.
Thanks! That’s the plan.
Lovely. Wishing you lifetime of happy years together.
You’re too kind.
Thanks honey bunny, or should I say “lover”.
No. Don’t say that.

Happy Anniversary. Congratulations on maintaining the illusion that tricked her in the first place.
Smoke and mirrors, man. Smoke and mirrors.
Traditional or Modern on the gift list? I can’t decide on whether to send pottery or leather. Happy 9th. And here’s to many more.
How about a nice suede vase?
AWE how sweet and stuff. Happy Anniversary!
Mostly stuff.
Oh, happy times are yet to come! For all the years past, and all that stretch ahead, I wish you both the best . . .
Thanks! The best would be awesome.
Congratulations to one of my favorite IRL couples. You give me hope that can be done and done well.

Here’s to 70 more years of bliss.
70 years? Someone is going to have to continue the bliss without me.

I love the sound of poetry in my inbox. Thank you!
Congrats! It is great to have someone to spend all that time with.
I hope you enjoy many, many, many more.
Thanks! I hope so, too!
Whooop! Congrats. We are on 14 and I’d say it feels just like yesterday, but with teens and the such, it seems like a lifetime. Each stage the kids embark upon changes them and us and our relationship. Don’t get me wrong; it’s a good lifetime and I am hoping for many more. I wish the same for you, my friend. Many lifetimes. Many changes. Many adaptations and works in progress…Together!

Always the work in progress. Thank you!
Happiest of anniversaries, you two.
We didn’t do a damn thing. Anniversaries shouldn’t be on school nights.
Late, as usual. Happy anniversary, you two.
Appreciate it all the same. Thanks.
Late to the game, but wishing you both a great anniversary in any case. Here’s hoping this next year’s the best one yet.
Thank you kindly.
