Eighteen years ago I ran off to a justice of the peace with the woman I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. We eloped with his wife as our witness to the legal process. I couldn't imagine myself with anyone else at that time and I still cannot. I didn't want to let her go and made the decision to ask her to marry me. We were young and many didn't expect it to last for long. Some of our peers from back then are working on 2nd divorces. Rumors back then also placed us as rushing to cover up some un-expected child. Thru that and the questioning from family and friends in the early days we have made it and are accepted and loved.
While we have had our little annoying times in the end, and still to this day, I will always love my wife and wouldn't change a thing.
Fourteen years ago our first child was born. Even though she isn't big on hugging and PSA I still think back to when on her very first day that she slept on my chest in the LDR and I realized that there can always be more room in your heart.
