“I will stand by you no matter what.”
He first said those words years ago, never imagining that they could become so literal, while he leans on his wife for support.
Waves crash and recede in bubbling whispers around their bare feet, well, three feet, one plaster cast with a heel.
“Next time you say ‘don’t walk there, it’s icy,’ I promise I’ll listen.”
“You shouldn’t make promises you don’t intend to keep.”
“Never. Not once.” Then, he laughs.
“What?”
“I love you. That’s all.”
“Yes. That is funny. I love you too.”
“Hilarious.” They stumble on, together.

True support. A good story.
“They stumble on, together.” Yep. Nice story; nice work.
Dear Anne,
For better, for worse…lovely story. Made me smile.
Shalom,

What a sweet story of a supportive (literally) relationship! How wonderful that they can joke together like that about something that other people would use as an excuse for complaining and blaming.
That evokes so well the comfortable relationship of a couple who have grown together
That’s a cute story. I love their playful banter. Can think of times that I’ve said to my husband that I should have listened to him and will next time … until the next time arrives, of course 🙂
A pillar of strength. Such a comforting tale.
Sweet story, makes me miss someone.
Okay, I am over it. 😉
Still a sweet story.
Aw, Dawn. Thanks!
