Stargazers

My husband and I love going out to the country on warm summer nights, taking...

A blanket out to a meadow to spend an evening stargazing, sipping wine, snacking on cheese and crackers, and...

Just ENJOYING each others company.

It was a rare treat for us after our children arrived.

But...

Still an activity we tried to make time for as we have considered it special since we were dating.

He proposed to me, and I told him about the future arrival of our first child on one of our stargazing retreats.

Recently, my dad became ill and I went to be with my mom and help her with his care.

After I had been gone from home about two weeks and really missing my husband, the flower delivery man came to my mom's home with a beautiful arrangement of stargazer lilies.

While the flowers were gorgeous, the thoughtfulness of his gift was so touching, and...

Only the two of us understood the significance of the flowers he choose.

After 35 years of marriage, he STILL takes my breath away.
