Evidence of the Affair

I needed so badly to see that regardless of whether I could carry a child, I was still me, still worth something.

Anyway, about the sandbar. It reminded me of you because you are my sandbar. I was lost at sea, and then you showed up. My dry land.

you see me exactly as I wish to be seen. There is no greater gift than that.

Delights can be hard to come by recently, so I truly cherish getting to laugh with you.

I needed so badly to see that regardless of whether I could carry a child, I was still me, still worth something. And no matter what my husband thought of me, I was still important.

There is still beauty out there, still unexpected wonders.

The only silver lining, should all this end in disaster, is that there is you.

I was lost at sea, and then you showed up. My dry land.

Thank you for helping me remember how to be happy.

You are the second half of my heart nowadays, Carrie Ann.

And I am lucky for it.

Thank you for helping me hold my head a bit higher at a time in which it has every reason to hang low.
