just enough time

Saturday, September 26, 2015

This picture came up in Google Photos a few days back. “8 years ago today,” the caption read.

I remember the moment we took this photo—I was cranky over touring a city that promised a lot of delicious food options but still left me hungry; he was happy to just be together. That’s how it usually went with us. Me, cranky, and him, content. And then trying to take this photo, there’s him relaxed and me frustrated the sun is so bright. Why is the sun so bright. He laughs at me, which frustrates me more. Finally we capture the moment and he asks me if I want to go have a hot dog. All is well. We are together.

“8 years ago today.”

Enough time to love you and be known by you. Enough time to make three beautiful brilliant babies. Enough time to turn a house into a home.

Enough time to think we had longer.
