I thought it deserved another look today, as Mike and I celebrate our 16th wedding anniversary.
Because I am a strong, empowered woman, I could live without him, but I wouldn't want to have to.
Love is not measured in affirmations of not being able to live without someone, it's about who you are with someone. I might be fine in the world without Mike but I wouldn't be the same person I am now. I like who I am with Mike by my side.
My husband, Mike has tolerated my shenanigans for 18 years.
Someone, somewhere should give him an award because even sober, I am a handful.
He has endured much over the years, and in the moment, it would seem as though
he is irritated, annoyed or unimpressed with my latest scheme, but I think in
general, he likes my creative approach to life.
Mike met me drunk, in a bar... <shrugs shoulders> what
can I say; it was the beginning of a theme.
