It was the first morning in a longtime that the sun rose and I didn’t pay it any attention. The sun ride on the beach has always amazed me that I refused to miss another sunrise, unless in dire circumstances. I would say that these are they, especially with the woman I love more than life itself in my bed.
I had, of course, expected the situation to be different, you know the morning after our wedding. I always wanted to make a Mrs. out of her.

Oh, this woman is magnificent. I just pray she forgives me for my reaction last night. I mean, it’s one thing to suspect, and a totally different thing to know. It’s set in stone now though. I will be marrying this lady, and quite frankly, the sooner the better.
